Our users are constantly in-line forwarding the same emails with (20+MB)
attachment(s) to different people, but completely altering the body
content, so we would definitely need per mime-part, since only the large
binary attachments would be identical.

So, I would also regard this as a miracle (dunno about biblical
proportions, but close), as long as it applies server wide - ie, all
domains hosted by one particular dovecot instance.
