It's in base64.  Most of the stuff is work related so I've cobbled up
a sample that shows the same problem.  I edebug-defun'ed
mm-save-part-to-file and mm-insert-part, base64-decode-region and
mm-decode-content-transfer-encoding.  Ultimately it looks like
base64-decode-region returning nil is the problem, and that function
appears to want to return nil no matter what.  My base64.el is from
the most recent mail-lib XEmacs package.  I'll note that this happens
whether or not I set base64-decoder-program, which I normally do since
mmencode -u is typically faster.  I turned that off temporarily for
testing this but it didn't help and, in fact, made edebugging
base64-decode-region that much more time consuming.

Thanks,
