Let's see...  the insertion of the MIME buttons is done by
`gnus-insert-mime-button'.  And the format of the button is determined
by the `gnus-mime-button-line-format' variable.  So you could add a
user-defined format spec, and then return a string with an image display
property.  The MIME handle is available in the dynamically bound
"handle" variable.
