MUAs tend to be able to display what they produce themselves, but I have situations where they don't handle what other MUAs produce.

One nice thing about this email6 toolkit might be the ability to produce, more easily than before, a variety of MIME combinations to exercise and test a variety of MUAs. While perhaps most of them have been tested with some obviously standard MIME combinations, I suspect most of them will produce strange results with combinations that are out of the ordinary.

Yeah, RFC compliance and other types of testing is something I want this package to be good for. The API under discussion here, though, is oriented toward people using the library for easily generating emails from their application and/or easily accessing the information from emails sent to their application.
