Harald,

1)
RFC 1494 defines:
	- mime-postscript-body,
	- mime-jpeg-body,
	- mime-gif-body,

why not also define:
	- mime-partial-body,
	- mime-external-body,
	- mime-richtext-body,
	- mime-audio-body,
	- mime-mpeg-body.

	?

Later one would also have to define many others...


2)
Would it not be a good idea to put in the mime-postscript-body,
and in the mime-jpeg-body, and in the mime-gif-body
 a big parameter field
like in the mime-body-part (except the content-type). This enables
the mapping of content-description and all the other header fields.
	?
