That's the one I had in mind too. At least on my old computer,
whenever I hit a 10MB mail with say 5 attachments the displaying of
it takes quite some time. mhstore completes in a second or so...
I recall looking into this one once, but the logic which hinged on
the tmp filestucture for the parts seemed to be all over the place/

Maybe it's time to have another go at it.
