MailManager by Mark Crispin supports MIME. It works and is available with  
source. I can't remember the exact ftp site I got it from ... my trigger  
happy finger deleted Mark's e-mail before I remember to file it away :-(  
Maybe Mark or someone else can post the ftp site address for the benefit  
of those who are curious about the content of Mark's post.

As Mark admitted to me, MailManager can use some work and with the source  
code available (unlike NewsGrazer :-), some whizes amongst us can run with  
it and turn something super cool out of it. I am not a coder (in fact, I  
am a damn horrible coder with no patience) but I can offer my expertise in  
the areas of project management, UI design, documentation, and trashing  
(aka beta testing and faucet breaking).

I envision a MIME-compliant GUI-based threaded newsreader that is also NG  
RTF-compatible (read-only is good enough). It must support all the  
standard NeXT goodies, e.g. drag-'n-drop anything and everything.

The future of NewsGrazer is uncertain and it is no fun using NG version  
72.0 forever. Lets talk ...
