It would have made my life a lot easier in the past. A lot of the MIME libraries out there are extremely buggy. MIME is just difficult to work with, and support is still weak. Undefined content length + text based boundaries = pain in the ass. It is in the e-mail module because that's all MIME was originally intended for. It's now grown beyond that now, but you will find the MIME functions still live in the e-mail libraries. When dealing with raw MIME encoded data, e-mail is still the most common case.
