You forget that file attach routing is non functional in fidonet; and that
the lenght of messages is limited, making for a lot of trouble when uuencoding
(yes, when keeping the original format it isn't better; but it isn't worst
either; I mean, why converting ?)

Also some MIME types can't be converted to file attach nor uuencoding
concepts; like the authentification and signing types.
