   Please explain what would qualify as ``an elegant solution'', then.
   The infrastructure is there: we have the function
   mail-unquote-printable-region to do the actual work.

A solution that would just work could be enough. I played with
procmail, rmime.el, etach.el and even rmail-mime.el but that just does
not work.

rmime.el just groks the mail content ...
etach.el is ok when we talk about attaching/detaching
rmail-mime.el is really too old and just does not integrate well

As of procmail, I looked many recipes but *none* of them did anything
interesting with that (except adding many X- headers ...)

So if you just have something working -i.e. something that permits to
read my mails successfully, I would qualify this as elegant :)
