I don't think so, it is good Unix practise to do layering and MIME is
something you need in MUAs and not in an encryption tool.

Werner,

I am hoping you'll also implement our two newest drafts, OpenPGP/MIME
and OpenPGP/MIME Multipart Signatures. Both could be extremely useful
in a scriptable UNIX GnuPG version.

I've asked Will Price at PGP Security if they plan to support the
drafts, but I'm not sure they plan to do so. If both were
interoperable, that would of course be ideal. :)
