I would think as far as the new widget goes, it would:
1. Initialize a MIME multipart object;
2. Put typed-in text as plain text; and
3. Put dropped files as encoded contents;
building up each part as it goes along. Because (as I understand X :() each
part would correspond to a separate message or set of messages to the widget
(files would be "dropped-object" messages while text would be "keyboard
character" messages (oversimplification)), the widget should just be able to
sort this out as it processes along. Note that I don't say this will be
easy ab initio (before anyone has written the first widget) -- just that it
will be possible...
