Yes that should be the right thing to do.

The nice thing of mel-base's body structures is that they actually  
don't reinvent the wheel. I generate just plain standard IMAP body  
structures. This allowed me to just use the IMAP server provided body  
structure for IMAP folders and the generated one for all others. The  
multipart code just demands correct body structures. This is also why  
these bugs never occured with IMAP folders.

ciao,
