Since you specifically said "security processing" I'd like to point
out that BODYSTRUCTURE interacts suboptimal with S/MIME, specifically
application/pkcs7-mime blobs.  That MIME type can denote either
signed, encrypted or certificate data.  So a client that wants to give
GUI hints about whether a S/MIME message is signed, encrypted, or
contains certs, has to peek inside the data.

(Yes, I know about the smime-type parameter, but it is optional.  I
won't even suggest using the *.p7m, *.p7c, or *.p7s filename
extensions as a solution.)

Generally, I agree fully that BODYSTRUCTURE is sufficient.
