Thanks.

I don't know if this is "serious" bikeshedding, but I have a comment or two on the example:

Yeah, you engaged in some serious bikeshedding there ;)

I like the idea of a top level part that requires the required headers, and I agree that MIMEPart is better than MIMEMessage for that class.

Full validation is something that is currently a "future objective". There's infrastructure to do it, but not all of the necessary knowledge has been coded in yet.

I take your point about the relationship between related and alternative not being set in stone. I'll have to think through the consequences of that, but I think it is just a matter of removing a couple error checks and updating the documentation.

I'll also have to sit and think through your other ideas (the more extensive bikeshedding :) before I can comment, and I'm heading out to take my step-daughter to her freshman year of college, so I won't be able to do thorough responses until tomorrow.
