That brings back memories. ;-) Yes, but here is a very simple one.

The filters only work on text parts, so if the message MIME structure is incorrect, they wouldn't help. As I said, to make "modifications" to the message structure on the fly we'd need to either modify c-client (very undesirable) or introduce yet another level of indirection between M and c-client (difficult and probably not worth it for now). Only this would allow stuff like presenting uuencoded text as an attachment or presenting a MULTIPART/ENCRYPTED message as a single part (and decrypted) one. OTOH, I do want the filters to be able to create "virtual attachments", i.e. the obejcts which appear as icons (or text inside "[]" for the text case) in the viewer and which can be clicked by the user. For example, I want the PGP sig checker filter to put an icon representing a signature at the end of the messae and clicking it should give some information about it. So it's almost as above -- but not quite, as it's applied only after the normal MIME parsing had been done.
