The suggested manual decode command should allow you to combine
incomplete multiparts.  Just select the parts you wish to combine, and
select "Manual Decode".  (I think Gravity and/or Agent can do this,
but it's quite a while since I tried.)

That could be achieved with a "Delete" button in rearrange window for
the suggested Manual Decode.  The window would then contain all parts
by default.

I've added these comments to the bug report, so they don't get lost.
