Last time I asked, I was told that I wouldn't be able to read mail
arriving in different codings, such as I normally receive. Is that the
case?

I think it should be stored as other tools do, which I suppose it means
just as they arrive from the wire.

If Rmail decodes babyl and writes it back in mbox format, maybe Gnus
could do the same.

I use the very old rmime.el. Its most important feature is that it
decodes base64 and quoted-printable for me. Additionally, it collapses
attachments to a single line each and allows me to save them on disk by
hitting C-cC-c on that line. Such a very basic support would be enough
for a start.
