MH-e uses message-mode, as do a few third-party elisp mail packages  
(or they did when I last looked, a few years ago).  For better or  
worse, MIME handling is seen as necessary in most elisp mail packages,  
and is tremendously fiddly, which leaves most people relying on the  
gnus-ish code.

Sadly, I'm not in a good position to offer to help with either  
proposal, but I doubt that you can make mail-mode usable for the mime- 
handling features that multiple packages want from message-mode  
without significant (mostly duplicated) effort.
