That's a good idea.

I'd also like to have multipart/related (and other multipart types) in this
dissector. For this reason, maybe the dissector could be called
"packet-multipart-media.c" in which all multipart dissectors are grouped
(they don't really differ a lot).

I will soon add a generic line-based text dissector (a copy of the
message/http dissector I checked in earlier today). That will help testing
the multipart dissection :)

Regards,

Olivier

Or just a Boolean to specify whether short header field names should be
accepted?

That should perhaps be passed to media-type dissectors via the
private_data structure.
