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.
