Cool, I would like to see it, because I'm thinking something like this
might have to go into MM2.1.

Shouldn't be related because Scrubber's all about yanking those parts
out and leaving them in the file system for later access (via the web
archive, or I'm guess, though a url-summary type digest).

MimeDel's all about getting rid of stuff before it hits the
membership.  I think we just want MimeDel to support a selection on
whitelist/blacklist (i.e. pass-thru these types blocking all others,
or block these types passing-thru all others).
