FYI, after fixing a small bug in boundary parsing, the new 2.70 parser
handles this fine. :)

(note: the new parser doesn't recurse into message/* type attachments
as they would need to be handled specially, but it's easy to add if we
really want to do it.  so it's not a 100% complete test here.)

Also, I modified the parser to only decode/render the MIME parts as
necessary.  It ended up being a pretty trivial modification, should make
inital parsing faster, and will keep memory usage as low as possible
(for instance, don't decode attachment/* unless some rule needs to look
at the raw binary ...)   Yea! :)
