In article <74e22977-8ee8-c762-4882-b56e5911430e(_at_)digilicious(_dot_)com> 
you write:
Question is, is BINARYMIME doable?  Or a lost cause?

After 18 years, I think the answer should be obvious.

At modern network speeds, base64 encoding is good enough for the file
that people attach to mail messsages.  If you have something big
enough that BINARYMIME would make a difference, sensible people use
something like dropbox and send a link.
