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.
