It would be nice to prompt the user for multiple files, & easily
enough done:

  (defun mime-edit-insert-multiple-files ()
    "Insert MIME parts from multiple files."
    (interactive)
    (catch 'done
      (while t
        (let ((next-file (expand-file-name
                          (read-file-name "Insert file as MIME message: "))))
          (if (and (file-exists-p next-file)
                   (file-regular-p next-file))
              (mime-edit-insert-file next-file t)
            (throw 'done nil)))
        (if (not (y-or-n-p "Insert another? "))
            (throw 'done nil)))))

Maybe something like this could be in SEMI?
