I'd like to discuss this with you. One of the messiest areas of Horde/IMP
right now is MIME stuff and how it's all tied together. I'd like to figure
out a nice way to abstract it from the IMAP layer, so that other apps that
need to display content can do so.

One thought that came to mind was to have a generic Mime_Content object.
This object would have a fetchContent() method. Before calling
fetchContent(), you would need to set two parameters - $fetchMethod, and
$fetchParams. $fetchMethod would be the name of the method to call to get
the content, and $fetchParams would be an array of the arguments to that
method.

Another possibility is just to have the Mime_Content constructor take the
data of the part as a parameter.

Thoughts?
