Yes, there are a number of multipart/mixed loopholes at the moment. 
Planning to use MIME::Tools to do some more serious deconstruction on
the messages and their parts in future release.  At the moment I'm
actually thinking it'll be in 2.3 and I'll release 2.2 in the coming
week, since the MIME::Tools will be a fairly big change and might
conceivably break some stuff.  Since so many rules have changed, and the
evaluation-short-circuiting stuff is in there already, I think we might
want to release that before going into serious MIME-overhaul mode.
