   A _very_ ugly solution.

   Edit the message in question, remove the MIME-Version: field, convert
   the sections you care about using base64-decode-region.  Save.  Rmail
   will complain slightly about the message not being a valid MIME
   message, but .. meh.

Seems to me that all you really need to do is to convert the
content-transfer-encoding of the attachment from "base64" to (say)
"8bit" to make it readable, in which case it would still be valid MIME.
