Perhaps not. The thread started with a proposal for a coding system

process of dealing with multiple coding systems and the like would be
transparent to Rmail. And I've been assuming that.

Right, I see that now.
I think both approaches have merits. I suspect that you will discover
(as Kyle and larsi apparently did) that a full-fledged MIME
implementation is much cleaner if you use a separate presentation
buffer. But for the minimal usage (converting text/plain; charset=FOO
to Mule code, and displaying text attachments like patches inline),
you don't need it.
