So that would be the "let's add this one function now and
deal with the real problem later" answer, yes?

I was not saying anything about your code (I wasn't even thinking you'd
write the code), and thus was making no assumptions about it.
The point was that real support for mime (as message-mode has today)
can't be done piecemeal, and that while adding "a little bit" of support
to mail-mode may be a _temporary_ fix for some people's perceived
problem, it isn't a good long-term solution -- and even in the
short-term it actually makes the duplication problem _worse_, so it
seems worth thinking about whether even that is actually desirable.
