Yes. I tried to explain the results of doing that in this
paragraph:
| I can edit the content-type using ^E from the attachment menu,
| change it to message/rfc822, and then view one of the alternative

| I 1 <no description> [text/plain, quoted, iso-8859-1, 0.1K]
| A 2 Original Message.eml [message/rfc822, base64, 33K]
| I 3 `-><no description> [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 33K]
So telling mutt that the type is message/rfc822 is not sufficient to
get mutt to understand its contents. Also, when I tried to open
that last text/plain part, mutt showed me the undecoded base64 part.
