I thought of using a special folder "partials" to collect all messages 
with content-type message/partial and inject them into normal 
processing once they're complete.

Another solution (and one that I really like) would be to not show the 
message/partial fragments at all, but only the resulting message (once 
the first fragment has been received, which is necessary, since it 
contains the header), even if it's not yet complete (show
<part x/y still missing>
in it's place).

We're only speaking of _messages_ with ct message/partial, but afaik 
it's perfectly legal to e.g. have the first fragment with ct 
multipart/mixed( text/plain, message/partial ), where the first body 
part is explanatory text or something like that.

So maybe we really need to implement the "another solution", since the 
explanatory text would be hidden in the "partials" folder, or the 
message list cluttered with (part x/y) messages otherwise.
