Tatsuya,

I did apply your patch but I still got some surprises:

1) On a multipart/Rfc822 part-x.y, Mew fails to extract parts;

2) On a multipart/Rfc822 part-x, Mew extracts _all_ the parts ('B'
   or 'C-u B'). (what is the difference between 'B' and 'C-u B'?)

Well, I still use Mew. I did try Sylpheed and it's great, but not so
great that Mew :-)

Last, I did apply the patch by hand (patch command fails
(mew-2.2-3.deb)) and look at the code: I did not understand a thing!
Lisp looks like a very special language! :-)

Respect! :-)
