A new point:

 - I would like the MIME support to cooperate with the upcoming
   nnimap, in such a way that loading of attachments can be delayed
   until you actually wish to show or save it (delay the download of
   that 5MB PowerPoint file your boss sent you (real example: it
   happened to me today) until you can plug your laptop into the LAN at
    work)
