Maybe, but then we do not agree about individual items; for example,
the "charset" parameter is definitively interesting for me, but I do
not care about "boundary" too.

So a real solution for this issue would be a facility to ignore and
retain specific MIME parameters of individual header fields. I am not
that much disturbed by reading "boundary" that I will undertake the
effort to implement it, though.
