You didn't mention it, but I went over and looked.  When the only
one that seems to ship with the ability do it is Gnus, then I think
that tells me everything I need to know.  I'm going to yank this all
out unless someone can come up with a plausible reason to keep it.

(And I see Ned weighed in on the base64 discussion we had a while ago;
I interpret his response as "it's perfectly fine to simply just stop
decoding at that point, emitting a warning is recommended but not
required").
