problems with multipart/mixed

welcome to the boat!

I found the reason why that happens. Basically it appears because of a
bug in the ongoing multipart development.

In my example, the problem is as follows: currently the outer multipart
message gets ID 1, the first html part ID 2, and the attachment ID 3.

This seems to be correct in the JSON output. But for whatever reason,
show in emacs does not display the html part at all and the attachment
as text/html (it is text/plain). So it seems that the show is off by 1
somewhere.

Now a quick-and-dirty way around this:

reset to c51d5b3cdb5ca0816816e88ca6f7136a24e74eee

and apply this patch:

current master is already some steps further, so probably this will be
fixed in a correct way soon, but for now I'll use this.
