It's generally fairly easy to modify the existing readers to call an
external program like metamail or MH's mhn to view a MIME article.
I have done this to trn.  I also use MH's mhn to compose articles.
It works fairly well.  If you want the patches for trn, send me
mail.  I'd like to see more readers support MIME.
