Does any software out there still do message/partial?  We've discovered
that both the line-mode nmh package and the exmh GUI claim support
but are in fact broken.

Is anything else out there able to do it, or is it time to heave it over the side?

(Probably need to double-check 'external-body' support too, but that's a different
kettle of fish...)

And if it's time to heave it over the side, should an RFC deprecating or moving
it to 'Historic' be done?
