Aren't attachments clearly marked in the message as being such? Can't
Emacs look for those markers (the part delimiters in a multi-part
message) and refrain from decoding binary data while decoding text?

I see one significant disadvantage of this design: it will require
thorough rewrite of many parts in RMAIL, since the code as it is now
assumes a single buffer, narrowed as required. I don't have enough
information and experience to judge whether this is a serious
disadvantage, though.
