 It doesn't make sense because
MIME messages are alway 8-bit messages; you need to encode everything

Re-reading that, I disagree.

It is entirely possible (as stated explicitly in RFC2045) for a MIME entity to contain unencoded binary data: any arbitrary stream of bytes. Email normally cannot, but that's a transport issue. Since the BINARYMIME extension for SMTP exists, it is even possible to send mail (with some MTAs) as an arbitrary stream of bytes.
