What I have, so far, looks closest to Perl's MIME::Lite.  My code is 
somewhat less flexible: MIME::Lite allows options for simple plaintext, 
text with attachments, multipart, and few other MIME types.  My code 
only knows how to do multipart/alternative, with embedded images.

My thoughts now are:

   MIME::Lite::Multipart::Alternative
or just
   MIME::Multipart::Alternative

since it's focused just on that one format.

Thanks again,

James
