In fact, I don't use these programs either. I use "mimencode" (from
the metamail package) instead, which is a replacement for all four of
them:

   (setq vm-mime-qp-decoder-program "mimencode")
   (setq vm-mime-qp-decoder-switches '("-u" "-q"))
   (setq vm-mime-qp-encoder-program "mimencode")
   (setq vm-mime-qp-encoder-switches '("-q"))
   (setq vm-mime-base64-decoder-program "mimencode")
   (setq vm-mime-base64-decoder-switches '("-u"))
   (setq vm-mime-base64-encoder-program "mimencode")
   (setq vm-mime-base64-encoder-switches nil)
