Can slrn decode MIME messages?

[Charlie Gibbs <cgibbs@surfnaked.ca>]

Due to the high volume of messages in this mailing list, I prefer to
read it via the newsgroup linux.debian.user using slrn.  This works
well for the most part.  However, some messages (e.g. ones from
Matthew Campbell) are MIME-encoded.  I see appropriate headers:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

followed by a block of base64-encoded data.  A second block
sometimes appears, with Content-type: text/html.  The message
itself is unreadable unless I save the base64 data to disk
and run the base64 utility on it.

Is there a way to get slrn to decode MIME messages?  I'm
running Stretch on the laptop on which I read Usenet, and
"slrn --version" returns the following:

slrn 1.0.3
S-Lang Library Version: 2.3.1
