 Disagreement is good.  I do it too!  If I get a message with 20 photos

 way things get exec'd I haven't found a reasonable way to pipe the whole
 pile through a pager; short body parts that come before long ones scroll
 off the top of the screen.

I do that with:
  showmimeproc: pagelast
  mhshow: -nopause
in .mh_profile
and the pagelast script does:
  mhshow $@|less

But I don't have it display attachments like photos automatically: my
actual pagelast script displays just the text parts and also does
an mhlist.

I quite like your next redefinition idea provided an option to next can
specify whether or not to select attachments or skip to the next
message. Would be good if it could even cope with attachments in
message/rfc822 attachments.

What bothers me more about mime handling is the lack of formatting of
messages before quoting the message in a reply.

  So to summarize thus far, the MH-E needs of nmh are:

  - A boolean function for mh-format which is true if attachments are
present (say, called attach).

  - Content-Disposition support (inline, attachment, filename).
  
  - Better PGP/MIME (RFC 3056) composition (perhaps this *can* be
accomplished with the the #begin directive, although it would
definitely be tedious to do manually.) S/MIME?
