New description:

 If I receive multiple mail messages with MIME type message/partial,
 I expect to be able to read the rebuilt attachment by looking at each
 part with 'v' and having a mailcap entry:
 {{{
         message/partial; showpartial %s %{id} %{number} %{total}
 }}}
 But mutt treats the "message" type specially and never looks for
 a mailcap entry for this subtype.  This appears to make it impossible
 to read such multipart attachments with mutt.
