  raw MH wouldn't work for us. We should be able to provide some
  suggestions which would allow us to use more MH and less Gnus. Peter?

  This might be an intriguing option to some, but it should not be the
  default. I wouldn't enable it. There is too much crap out there that
  would pollute the scan listing and make it awkward to read mail
  quickly. I can safely say that I do not view the majority of
  attachments I receive and considering them as separate messages would
  simply add the to (often oppressive) pile of mail. Consider all the
  midi and html attachments in spam, and winmail.dat attachments, and
  vCards, and multipart/encrypted which you would want to present as a
  single message rather than the pieces. To name just a few.

  You'll be sure to generate some good ideas though. Capture them in a
  Feature Request at Savannah.
