Actually, it would need maintaining. If you were to download the last available tar file for metamail and try to compile you will find it won't. I seem to recall doing this over a year ago (it had some neat utils to convert between Base64 and quoted-printable) and it required some header files and/or libraries that had moved on to the point where you'd have to modify metamail to bring it "into the future".
