that's correct; see rfc3156, section 5. 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3156.txt

So we probably need to treat decoding and
converting to local line-end conventions as two separate steps.

indeed - and i'd go a bit further: if nmh encounters a mail that's
multipart/signed or multipart/encrypted, then it has to leave the whole
thing untouched. (see also section 3 or the above rfc)
