I hadn't considered a guess_attachments(), but I had started working on
a guess_body() before getting side-tracked by other stuff :-)

I think one thing I was trying to decide for guess_body() is whether it
should return a multipart/alternative as the body if it thinks the
subparts are the body (as opposed to picking a text/plain or text/html
part within said multipart/alternative). I'm thinking that might be
cleaner than passing in a bool to toggle a request for text vs html.

Any thoughts?

Cool, I'm open to ideas.
