My suggestion, then, is this: Could we both have some indication that

You can already invoke show to disable MIME processing, so
when you encounter such a message, just do:
show -noshowproc | less
or, if you want headers to still be processed nicely:
show -noshowproc | mhl
You start increasing the risk of security vulnerabilities when
"interpreting" malformed data. Any wrong interpretation could
lead to an attacker compromising your system with a specially
crafted message.
At the most, nmh could fallback to just rendering the message
through mhl if there is MIME error if you do not want to
do one of the commands above yourself, but I think that is
the most nmh should do.
