MIME allows for embedding multiple parts into one WHOLE part. However, linking one part to another is not handled (up to my knowledge) and is left up to the viewer. For example, you can embed an HTML file along with all of its images into one MIME container. When viewing the container, the viewer (a person in this case) has to view the HTML file and each image alone, not together. For sure this can help in Boris's case, but it is not complete. There is a lack of some specification of how to link a MIME part to other MIME parts. By doing so, a MIME viewer (a tool in this case), will be able to fetch some MIME parts and display them inside another MIME part of the same MIME container. Any thoughts on this?
