Sure - and the thing we've done will do all this. It's more about
trying to help the users categorise the message in their brain (it's
called vpim-hint, after all, not vpim-type :)
Try to explain to a random user how even though they _think_ it's a
voicemail, it's in fact just an audio/wav in a piece of email. They
will stare at you and go 'huh?'
As Eric Burger pointed out, critical content is also going to be useful
in the forwarded message situation.
(The other implementation detail that's nice is that the Message-Context
is easy to retrieve, and doesn't require trawling the mime parts of the
message)
As far as the notion of allowing the user to change the M-C when
forwarding - I'm not sure on the best way to handle this. From a
flexibility p.o.v., it's good to offer - but the complexity does
worry me a tad.
