I don't see why the mbox branch would support this any worse than the
trunk. The decoding stuff is pretty much stable and well understood,
after so many releases.

??? For me, it's as easy as
. Type 'e' to make the message editable
. Make region around the attachment
. For base64-encoded attachments:
M-x base64-decode-region RET
. For quoted-printable:
M-: (mail-unquote-printable-region (mark) (point) nil nil t) RET
. C-c (to exit rmail-edit)
. M-x rmail-redecode-body RET CHARSET-NAME RET
where CHARSET-NAME is whatever appears in the charset= header of the
attachment, if different from US-ASCII.
(Of course, the above are just the primitives; wrapping them with a
single command is left as an exercise for the interested readers.)
