Yes.  I tried to explain the results of doing that in this 
paragraph:

|      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.
