#158 K e doesn't work with a single body part

[Bill Wohler]

If you have a message that doesn't have any body parts
but a top-level content type that is not text/plain,
you might want to view it with an external viewer. For
example, text/html messages fall into this category.

However, if you use "K e" on such a message, you get
the message, "No matching MIME part found." I think
that if there aren't any body parts, "K e" should
operate on the entire message.

This also holds true for the other K commands such as
"K v", "K o", etc.

The sameness in handling would be good. I agree.
