Re: [rmail-mbox-branch]: mail-utils

[Richard Stallman]

    Meanwhile, I have re-implemented about 20 rfc* functions because I
    didn't like their dependency on mm-* code.  My implementation is also
    cleaner in a way that it uses even more basic general-purpose mail
    functions which I will try to put into mail-utils.el file.

I like the idea of doing it this way.  How many lines do they add up
to?  Let's decide whether this should be one file or many.

    What I'm going to do now is to remove mm-* dependency from
    lisp/gnus/rfc*.el files and submit a patch here.

I cannot follow this part.  If we are replacing and eliminating the
code in lisp/gnus/rfc*.el, why talk about patching those files?
