List Fields will by default operate in easy-mode, and thus automatically convert all MIME fields into richtext. This means that you won't see the real MIME fields since the programming interface on a low level convert the MIME fields into richtext before clients, such as List Fields, can see them.
Below you see how a MIME message looks in the Lotus Notes client:

The result is however sometimes not completely satisfactory.
Also note that you can see the status of the MIME processing by clicking on the MIME button in the statusbar:
