I thought about breaking up the MIME parts, but I decided that the
problem with that was that I believe there is value to still having the
original message around.  As for something like upasfs ... well, my
answer to that is simple: have at it, my friend!  If you want to make
a branch on the nmh git repo, be my guest.
