  Someone using Thunderbird forwards e-mail messages to a local newsgroup.
  Recently, these started appearing as .eml attachments with a MIME type
  of application/x-mimearchive, which gnus doesn't know how to handle.
  But if I use gnus-mime-view-part-as-type to view the attachment as
  message/rfc822, it looks good.

  1) Could Gnus be taught to treat these like message/rfc822, or something
  like that?

That sounds reasonable; this seems like a case of nonstandard mime types
that map to standard ones.  I'm unclear on whether there's already such
a mapping table.
