The MaxMIMEParts looks only at total number of parts, not recursion depth.
Clam shouldn't use huge amounts of memory for recursive parts (I can't
see a reason why a 50-part message would take substantially different
amounts of memory depending on recursion structure.)
However, I'm now the maintainter of MIME-tools, so I'll consider this
as a feature request. :-)
