I know that slrn does not deal with multipart mime messages, but how
common are those?  Do you have a message-id that provides an example
of what you would like it to read.

If you want UTF-8 support, then try the latest development snapshot:

   svn export \
     https://slrn.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/slrn/trunk \
     slrn-pre0.9.9

If you want to follow the development, use `co' instead of `export'.

The particular mime-related problem that you mention on this page is:

   "MIME support Mutt has MIME support and therefore knows how to
   handle multipart messages with attachments. It allows to handle
   each attachment individually (copy, save, pipe, delete). Slrn does
   not have MIME support, which is a problem with pgp signed messages.
   Following up to a signed message therefore requires extra editing."

Is the lack of support for pgp-signed messages your biggest
mime-related issue?

The first release will be 0.9.9.
