IMPORTANT

A partial MIME message can present a security risk. When a large message is divided into a number of partial MIME messages, any threat within the original message is also divided and transmitted as separate parts, which conceals the threat.

An external body MIME message can also present a security risk, because it uses an automatic data retrieval system. When the email system tries to retrieve the external data, it uses the access mechanism specified by the message originator. The message originator could trick the reader into trying to obtain inappropriate information. If the "mail-server" access type is used, the originator of the MIME message could force the recipient to unwittingly send a new message, with contents specified by the original sender.
