I will agree with that.  It has long disturbed me that, for instance, 
plain-text file attachments (not even html altho it happens with it too) 
get run together with each other and with the main message, without so 
much as a linefeed in at least some cases.

In my perfect pan, they'd all still appear in the body pane, but there'd 
be not only a line feed, but at least two line feeds with a visually 
distinctive separator of some sort between them, and thus, between the 
separate parts.  I've only not complained about it because the topic 
never came up, and on its own it didn't rise to enough of an irritation 
factor, at least for me, to bring it up.  But now that you've brought it 
up...

Heinrich?  Would this be a lot of terribly twisted code?  I don't think 
it /should/ be, but then it is of course easy for /me/ to say that, as 
I'm not the one implementing, and I recognize that.  It would appear to 
cure an at least minor irritant for both Steve and me, at minimum, and I'm 
guessing for many others, as well.  (Which is to say... TIA, since you 
seem to have a way of implementing such things almost before I'm sure my 
request has posted!  Thanks for that, too! =:^)
