There are plans to do this in 2.3+. Splitting messages into it's mime
parts is trivial, even with the current database layout, but storing the
same attachment once, even when received many times requires dropping
the foreign key constraint between messageblks and physmessages.
Currently messageblks belongs_to a single physmessage, but that would
have to be replaced with a belongs_to_many. No rocket science, but not
trivial either.
I don't pretend to understand all of the technical challenges, but
regardless, I'm glad to hear that this is planned for future functionality.
