Except that I'd have to ask the maintainers of Gnats in all projects I
run to install the patch.  And I know some of them aren't exactly fans
of MIME :-)

Besides, this wouldn't help me deal with the hundreds of messages I
keep in local folders for fast access :-)


I just thought it would be easier to do in Gnus, since it's already
got all the magic needed to cope with base64 encoding, and already has
special-cases for uuencoded parts.
