Yes and no. ;-)

I think that the MIME routines (parser, storage, manipulation, and output) 
should be a separate library from cpp-netlib.
However, I have no problem with cpp-netlib using it, and I will be checking it 
into the cpp-netlib github repo so that development of the two can continue 
together.

P.S.    The reasoning behind this that other libraries in boost might want to 
consume/create/manipulate MIME messages.

P.P.S.  If you *completely* hate this, let me know and we can hash it out.
