a plain/text rfc822 message will consist of two mimeparts, like the good 
old messageblks storage.
1: rfc822 headers
2: rfc822 body

a message/rfc822 would result in:

1: rfc822 headers
2: mimepart headers
3: mimepart body

a multipart message with only one mimepart will result in at least 5 
mimeparts:
1: rfc822 headers
2: multipart preface
3: mimepart headers
4: mimepart body
5: multipart postface


But then a message/rfc822 mimepart can contain a multipart message which 
may contain anything. Full recursion.


So there number of mimeparts (M) related to the number of physmessages 
(P) is something like:

M = A . P
2 <= A < inf
