Nope; but it went something like this:
`emime-parse-buffer &optional BUFFER'
Parses BUFFER and returns a list of emime handles.
`emime-displayable-p HANDLE'
Says whether HANDLE can be displayed inline. (And lots of other
predicates.)
`emime-insert HANDLE'
Inserts HANDLE at point.
`emime-display HANDLE'
Shows HANDLE in an auxiliary program. (mailcap etc. comes in here.)
`emime-output-to-file HANDLE'
Output HANDLE to a file.
And that's basically it. (Well... Some support functions for dealing
with encoded strings and stuff is also needed, but, like.) The
HANDLEs probably will be a list of things needed for emime to do, uh,
stuff, but should be regarded as opaque by other packages.

Yup. I plan on slogging through the gnus-bug messages this weekend,
and then I'm moving Quassia to Gnus 5.6.
