UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY and uuencoding

Is it worth opening a bug on making uuencoded messages work properly?  

Textcat apparently thought a message was Japanese instead of a
uuencoded .csv file:
        [22957] dbg: message: ---- MIME PARSER START ----
        [22957] dbg: message: parsing normal part
        [22957] dbg: message: ---- MIME PARSER END ----
        [22957] dbg: message: no encoding detected
        [22957] dbg: textcat: classifying, skipping: yi sco lv is bs sl
        la ga sa eu et rm cy eo fy gd lt
        [22957] dbg: textcat: language possibly: ja.iso-2022-jp
        [22957] dbg: textcat: X-Languages: "ja.iso-2022-jp",
        X-Languages-Length: 6318

The body is encoded with classic uuencoding, no MIME type:

        begin 644 recalls_email.03.30.csv
        M"DU%5$527TE$(" @(" @(" @(" @+$5.5%)97T1!5"Q23U5412 @(" @(" L
        M551)3$E465])1" @(" @(" @(" @(" @("Q!1$1215-3(" @(" @(" @(" @
        M(" @(" @(" @(" @(" @(" @(" @+$-)5%D@4U0@6DE0(" @(" @(" @(" @

I dug through bugzilla, and found four or five WON'T FIX bugs opened
about similar issues in the past.[1]
