There was a fairly long discussion in news.software.nntp a while back
about multipart postings. It's hideously unlikely that anyone will
actually use multipart/partial as the primary method of indicating
multipart postings on Usenet, at least without *also* relying on the
subject hacks, because Content-Type isn't and probably never will be in
overview information.
