As you can see above, the "attachment" is displayed here without
problems in the mutt body.

To realize this, I added the following to my ~/.procmailrc:

------------------------ schnipp -----------------------------
#
# Try to convert UUENCODE to MIME
#
:0
* Content-Type: text
{
        :0 fBw
        * ^begin [0-7][0-7[0-7]
        * ^end
        | formail -i Mime-Version | emil -G mime8_user
}

:0
* !Content-Type:
{
        :0 fBw
        * ^begin [0-7][0-7][0-7]
        * ^end
        | emil -G mime8_user
}
------------------------ schnipp -----------------------------

This uses the program emil (http://www.spinnaker.de/debian/#emil) to
convert uuencode to MIME.
