Pan's decode-for-viewing is completely separate from the
decode-for-saving - the former uses gmime stuff (I fixed some bugs with
the opposite problem, i.e. saving worked but viewing didn't, in the
past).

I assume that there is some good reason for this rather strange
arrangement, but don't remember if I figured it out. I guess it would
not be a very good idea to decode e.g. big movies into memory (what
gmime does), nor to decode things that really will be displayed into a
file and loading it afterwards - and maybe there is no single package
that can do either/or.
