The was a short discussion on the dev list.  My suggestion was that there be a
plugin to implement the rule type, since the information in body mime headers
has not been found to be very useful in anti-spam work.  Depending on whether
or not that has changed and is now useful, the rule type could be made
"standard".

I responded to Chris Santerre's message requesting the plugin (ie:
what kind of information/queries are they looking to do), but have not
received a response.

Since the body mime bits and the binary bits are pretty much the same, I think
getting them together in the same plugin would be fine.  The code to look in
the body mime headers is pretty trivial though, so a separate plugin may be
good depending on what is actually desired in such a plugin.
