I've added numerous lines like the following to rmime.el:

;;; Application/x-wp type ---
;;;   uses rmime-octet-action function
;;;   added by A.W. 4/16/99

(defalias 'rmime-application/x-wp 'rmime-application/octet-stream)


I've also found with multipart messages I need to invoke M-x
rmime-mode several times.
