I don't remember. It might just be sloppiness. If there is a reason for
it, it was probably that we needed to do it that way to be able to
display multipart/related messages from certain mailers/web browsers.

There are a bunch of test cases by the author of RFC2557 at
http://dsv.su.se/jpalme/ietf/mhtml-test/mhtml.html, but none of them
would require that functionality.
