Morioka-san developped such a package.  The several
rmail-*-mime-*-function are introduced for that package.
I'll attach it at the tail.  But, unfortunately, before
releasing that package officially, he moved to another
organization and got very busy.  It decodes a message into
another buffer (rmail-view-buffer) without modifying RMAIL
buffer itself.  As far as I know, one problem with this
package is that it's very slow in rmail-search[-backward].

It seems that we can't expect Morioka-san to work on
rmail-mime package, at least, for a while.  So, if keeping
those variables is very difficult, I think you can delete
them.
