[imp] IMP4.0rc3 - CID/MIME Multipart Messages

[Brandon Knitter]

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going for.  You obviously know way more 
about MIME
than I think most of us wanted to know.  Thanks!  I'll give that a whirl and
see how IMP likes it.

Your assessment of my needs is right on the money.  I was unaware of 
how "mixed"
worked.

Thanks,
