Thanks for testing it.

Btw, while I worked on this, I discovered a strange problem with a
coding-system I never heard about before: iso-2022-jp-2.  (It was one
of the encodings select-safe-coding-system suggested for encoding the
text with both Japanese and Latin-1 characters.)  Whenever I used
iso-2022-jp-2 to encode the edited message back into the mbox buffer,
Emacs crashed inside GC.  Is something wrong with that coding-system?
