This was supposed to be in 2.3 (We had a pre-release of the
SVR4 concept available to us) but for some reason or another it never
made it in.  It WILL be in 2.4, and it is one of the things holding
up 2.4.  Elm will support generation and use of those headers for
overall message, but not for attachments (in 2.4).  Attachments
will have to wait for attachment support in Elm.
