I don't know of one -- but perhaps you could modify the Cucumber
digest-burster AppleScript for Eudora?

I'm not sure that you understand. I suppose that MIME digests could include
rich text, but the basic advantage of the MIME format for digests is that
it makes it easy to view individual messages with a MIME-compatible email
program. Unfortunately, they do require one to open an attachment. There
isn't a perfect solution here, I'm afraid.
