What I mean is that if we create a multipart/mixed message ourself, and
then populate with subparts, these parts have no MIME IDs - i.e. these IDs
can not be dynamically assigned/determined by MIME_Part.  Unless you
specifically set the MIME IDs at creation time - which we do when
rebuilding from IMAP message data for example - it is impossible to access
the individual MIME parts.

IIRC, this off-by-one issue deals with this limitation, and there is no
solution except to make BC-breaking changes to MIME_Part.  So stalling for
Horde 5.
