   You seem to assume that the quoted-printable part is text.  But it
   sometimes isn't; and then in some cases that part is base64-encoded,
   not quoted-printable encoded.

One point for you.

   I described that in my message: I manually decode the relevant region,
   if I'm sure it's text I want to read.  It shouldn't be hard to write a
   command for that, but I just never bothered enough.

Fair enough. Hopefully with the help of rmime.el and etach.el, things
are far less annoying than without. But it is still not perfect.

   Btw, I also use RMAIL and won't switch to Gnus.

I just can't imagine doing so too ! I am totally addicted to it even
with these major issues.
