  Thank you for your reply.
  Basically, I want to discover if the content-type of a part is NOT 'text/xxxx',
  make it 'text/plain' and replace the body with a single line of text stating
  that it has been replaced.  Then this altered message will be output.

  I'm using the sample code to run mailmime_parse() on the mmap'ed message.
  The single attachment test messages I've used from squirrelmail parse with no 
  content-type revealed for a large jpeg attachment.

  Here is the output (I can also send the input if I cloak it somewhat).
