An interesting optimization, but it doesn't appeal to me:

  * if they're out of sync, which one takes precedence (that is, do I
process a Content-Type that isn't listed in the Content-Type-List?)
  * if a UA knew an intermediate box used Content-Type-List, the UA could
use Content-Type-List to make the intermediate box think some sort of
Content-Type is not present.  That additional content-type might contain the
secret of the universe, which the intermediate box really needed to know.
  * looking for "^Content-Type *:" isn't too hard; you don't really need to
bother parsing MIME and looking for nested parts unless there is, in fact, a
content-type you care about.  Per Paul's message, if you only want ones with
Content-Disposition: session, you could look for that string within 4-5
lines of Content-Type; if you found it, then you could parse the MIME in the
body.
