Like I said before, a new backend could store articles on disk like
that. Of the existing backends, it's probably only suitable for
nnimap, but why restrict ourselves?
For example, nnml could be augmented to auto-split viewed messages
into several files, I guess. Then, slowly, all the big attachments
would migrate out of the main file and the Gnus article display would
be a lot faster because it didn't have to filter out all that base64
stuff.
