Weird. So it works now?
Does it run the appropriate app for you or just drop the attached file(s) into
a directory?

The docs don't say. I think I was wrong saying it apparently doesn't
handle all the mime types. Why shouldn't it? It seems to me that all files, gif,
mov, avi, wav, whatever, all just get base64 encoded, none require special treatment to
attach/detach. The part boundaries also work the same regardless of type and subtype,
I think.

I spotted this ...
os2md6.zip 29989 Dec 1 1995 OS2md, OS/2 MIME message decoder
in the hobbes index but have never tried it.
