I poked around a bit here, and I found a corpus of MIME messages
created by François Pinard that looks quite nice, although a bit
outdated.

The main problem with a MIME corpus is that you should be able to say
(outside) of the message what problem you're trying to demonstrate
with the message in question.

Perhaps the way to do that would be to have an explanatory message
being the parent of each example MIME message?

Creating something like that would take a bit of work, though.
