do i need to patch both functions?  it is declared in both :

 ./horde/lib/MIME/Part.php
 ./horde/lib/MIME/Viewer.php

upon clicking on an octect-stream, i notice both are loaded twice.
upon clicking a known mime, i notice both are loaded four times.

is there an ~internals~ type document that explains the relationship of
some of the mechanisms and files/procedures called?
