Let's see...
http://www.dsv.su.se/~jpalme/ietf/mhtml.html#summary
"The main idea of the MHTML standard is that you send a HTML document, together with in-line graphics, applets, etc., and also other linked documents if you so wish, in a MIME multipart/related body part."
(and apparently the standard is described in RFC 2557)

Ah. Well, this has almost nothing to do with kmultipart, despite the fact that they both use the MIME multipart thing.

KMultipart is about server-side push, i.e. the multiple parts *replace* each other.
KMultipart _uses_ KHTML from the outside, i.e. it can only send a piece of HTML data to it, no inline images etc.

MHTML is about some kind of storage where the parts reference each other.
This needs some hooks in the KHTML loader, or it needs an ioslave (kio_cid?).
