Indeed, this should theoretically be fixable now.  The email module
is now perfectly capable of both consuming and producing binary data.
The user of the module doesn't need to care how this was achieved unless
they want to do processing of non-RFC conformant data.

I want to look at the CGI issue, but I'm not sure when I'll get to it.
