 * Looks to me like a library for people who want to write, say, a

 * should add a link to `mail'.

Um, MIME is not any more "mail" than, say, uucp is.  You can use MIME
with news, right?  Also, when the category "converters" was created,
we had utilities exactly like this in mind.

As I said before, just because something is a library doesn't mean it
belongs to "devel" -- only general purpose libraries (or something
that doesn't belong elsewhere) go to devel.  Otherwise we'll have to
put linpack and friends into devel.
