Emacs _already_ has mime libraries; they seem to work quite well.
Message mode (and Gnus) already uses them. Message mode is more or less
a superset of mail-mode.
It seems fairly obvious that the best solutions are:
1. In the long-term, merge mail-mode and message-mode. It's silly
that there are two modes. AIUI, this is already an Emacs goal.
2. In the short-term, just use message mode when you want to send
mime mail.
No?
