Please don't add to the confusion.  emacs-w3m is for reading
HTML documents.  Those can be embedded in email using MIME, but MIME can be
used for many more things than just to embed HTML.

IIRC the MH-E included in Emacs-21.3 does not support MIME very well.
I'd recommend you try the newer version at http://mh-e.sourceforge.net
(it'll be included in the next Emacs release).

It'll still require emacs-w3m if you want it to display HTML parts of MIME
mail, of course, but mime-w3m.el shouldn't be needed.
