MIME has been designed so that it is possible to attach plain text
files in ways that are readable to non-MIME-aware user agents.

Pine should do this.  Unconditionally using
`Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' on attachements (that it claims
are text files, too!) is unnecessary and undesirable overencoding, and
therefore a bug.
