Re: Rmail-mbox branch

[Richard M. Stallman]

    Forgot an important point (of course): After such a manipulation
    [undoing quoted-printable- or base64-encoded msg and hand-decoding it],
    is it clear that the file is a legitimate mbox file, usable by other
    applications?

I am not sure.  If it isn't valid as an mbox file, perhaps
it is true that Rmail/mbox needs to do this decoding
each time it displays the message, rather than just once
(as some have claimed before).

Stefan, can you tell Paul Reilly about the new features you told me
ought to make this feasible?

If you edit such a message, how can Rmail/mbox save the edit?  Perhaps
it needs to re-enode the changed message body in the same encoding
that the message used.
