Oh, I thought you were talking about the underlying mechanism. I thought you were talking about the mechanism because of the reference to MIME, since MIME is transport rather than interface. Of course you want to pretty it up (did I mention TkGnats? I'll look at libforms, but no promises... I'm busy trying to make TkGnats conform to company style and policy guides :-P), but I don't think MIME is the way to go for something like this... for one thing MIME confuses GNATS pretty badly if you actually try to send it a multipart (trust me on this one).
