I think that we are saying that the Rmail/mbox message presentation
buffer should decode as much of the MIME pieces as it can. The task
here is to make the Rmail/mime contributions a first class part of
Rmail. The developer with the initials "as" started that ball rolling
with (p/r)mailmm.el which is apparently based on Alexander Pohoyda's
work. This is the direction I plan to take. Comments?
My comment is that we should first make Rmail/mbox perform as well as
Rmail/Babyl, in this regard. This means you need to be able to decode
the body of a single-part message and display it correctly. As soon
as this part is done, we can recommend Rmail users to switch to
Rmail/mbox. The multi-part/MIME handling can be improved later.
