it's certainly a (relatively) simple way of implementing what paul (vixie)
has proposed a couple of times, while leveraging the filesystem namespace
for the storage of the parts. i'm not convinced that introducing a
directory level might not be a good idea: i.e., a message might have
the message file itself ("53") and a directory which mh would currently
ignore ("53.mime"). the directory could then contain lots of stuff that
would clutter the upper-level MH folder otherwise.
