I've seen several Base64 libs. More details if google doesn't turn up
anything.

John Meacham wrote a binding for ginsu, Ian Lynagh wrote a binding that may not
be publically released (not sure).

I think I've heard of one, I'd have to google to be sure.

WASHMail has some support for this and MIME encoded emails.

I've written some ugly but mostly functional mbox code as part of
curryspondence.

Thomas Hallgren wrote InternetLib, not sure if it requires Fudgets or not.

Richard Braakman wrote a (partial?) FTP implementation as part of his harc
source control project.

I'd really like this, but haven't gotten around to trying to make it work in
GHC. Shouldn't be too hard though.

Part of my lost list of Haskell wishes: 
GHC-approved SDL binding (there are several partial implementations)
