It has bugs, though.  If the message is:

<text 1>
<uuencode>
<text 2>

then <text 1> begins with a spurious newline, and <text 2> is not
shown at all.

Agreed.

I think Gnus should insert a "virtual" article that merges them all.
Creation of the virtual article should probably be bound to a command
(I'm not sure if it's a good idea to make it automatic.)  Then you
could also safely remove them from the summary.  Or even limit them
out, so that `/ w' would restore them...
