It is possible to "nest" multipart/* types--same or different. Each of these
must specify the boundary= option AND each boundary must be different.
So the structure of a message is allowed to look like this (IIRC):
+ multipart/alternative (a)
+ multipart/yowsa (b)
+ vendor/wonka
+ image/omgwtfbbq
+ multipart/alternative (c)
+ image/mng
+ image/gif
+ image/png
+ multipart/mixed (d)
+ text/html
+ image/jpeg
+ text/plain
So, each of the multipart/* objects (a-d) would have a different boundary
setting.

I've seen that stuff. I doubt those messages are using a standardized format,
but KMail should try and be better about that, providing the normal "click
here to view HTML" option.
