I have put new versions of Emacs tools for composition and reading of
MIME messages inside GNU Emacs, NEmacs and Mule at:

wnoc-fuk.wide.ad.jp:/pub/GNU/etc/emacs-mime-tools.shar

And, I will also post them to gnu.emacs.sources and fj.sources later.

It consists of metamail.el, rmailmime.el and mime.el.  metamail.el is
a `metamail' interface that is used from rmailmime.el and mime.el.
rmailmime.el is for reading MIME messages in Rmail.  It also can be
used in VM.  mime.el is for composing multimedia messages containing
multiple charset plain and/or richtext messages, voices, images, and
so on.  mime.el should work with mail, mh-e, and gnus.

This version includes lots of improvements and bug fixes.  The most
important improvement is the expansions of charsets.  mime.el supports
most of ISO-8859-* charsets in Mule and ISO-8859-1 charset in Emacs
19.  In Mule, it also supports an experimental charset
X-ISO-2022-JP-2, that is intended to represent a multilingual text in
intermixed manner.  By using Mule and X-ISO-2022-JP-2 charset, many
asian and european languages can be exchanged over MIME.  Of course,
X-ISO-2022-JP-2 charset is used if and only if there is no charset
that can represent a given text.  Both fj.editor.mule and
mule-jp@etl.go.jp are valid places that can use X-ISO-2022-JP-2
charset now.  In other places, you need to reach a consensus to allow
X-ISO-2022-JP-2 charset before using it.

Please note that metamail.el in Emacs 19 does not work with
rmailmime.el and mime.el.  You have to use this version of
metamail.el.  It will be included in future Emacs 19.
