Yes, the MIME parser approach did occur to me, but it is not clear that
test cases will always be complete messages. Sometimes they will be just
random collections header-valued test verctors. So the two solutions solve
different problems.

With "-M" one might even want to specify separate RE map lists for each of
the header types. Something along the lines of:

$ postmap -Mheader=map[,map...] -Mmime=... -Mnested=... -q - bodymap ...
