I suppose you're then thinking of uses cases like actually providing a mail
body for sending with SMTP etc?

The form API would need to become a much more generic MIME API for it to work
good for that. But sure, if someone has use cases in mind and want to suggest
how the current form API redesign proposal can be made into a more generic
MIME one, then I could be interested. I just don't want it to be made into a
super big and complicated project because of that...
