Not really.  If you’re using raw binary output, the output wouldn’t be a MIME 
body (or body-part), so a MIME header would be inappropriate.  MIME requires 
output to be 7-bit clean (i.e., the high bit of every byte is 0), with some 
special exceptions.  Base64 is usually the preferred encoding, although many 
other encodings (e.g. uuencode) are allowed.  Raw binary output would not be 
allowed (unless you could guarantee it meets the exceptional cases, which you 
can’t for something like this).  You could always prepend a MIME header, but 
that wouldn’t make your output a MIME body.
