Summary: Multipart/mixed issues in archives

Initial Comment:
We are having problems with mailing lists that are not
being properly stripped down to text content in the
archives. When there is multipart/mixed, it doesn't
pull the multipart/alternative sections into their
appropriate text portions.

  For example, from content such as the following:

==============================================================================
>From ...
[...]
Content-class: urn:content-classes:message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary=------------InterScan_NT_MIME_Boundary
[...]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--------------InterScan_NT_MIME_Boundary
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
        boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C336A1.2C7564BC"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

------_=_NextPart_001_01C336A1.2C7564BC
Content-Type: text/plain;
 charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Kevin has a pending checkin that addresses the
minss/maxss issue.

As you can see, the actual content of the
multipart/alternative portion [text/plain and
text/html] were completely stripped out  instead of
being shown a plain text.

This appears to be within:

def process(mlist, msg, msgdata=None):

at around line 276, but I saw no way of making it recurse
for multipart/[mixed|alternative] sub-MIME parts.
