Could you please post a list of the features you had in mind, so that
the effort could be estimated?

Just looking at email messages with MIME attachments, it looks like
each attachment is just a fancy header line and a body encoded by
either base64 or quoted-printable.  Implementing a simple command that
asks for a file name and then encodes it and puts the result in the
*mail* buffer sounds easy enough, so I'm sure I'm missing something.
