    That's exactly what I have proposed: to encode them (text bodyparts)
    back into US-ASCII stream using base64 method.

I am not really sure what that means.  Could you explain?

Anyway, the first idea that occurs to me is to edit the headers of the
mime attachments to say how they are really encoded.  Why not?
