unrmail needs to be fixed to transfer the labels.
When I wrote it, there was no way to record labels in an mbox file
so discarding them was inevitable.

    The simple fact that the buffer is automatically converted
    is worrisome.  I think we should prompt the user before doing it.

Maybe, but given that both the old and new versions of Rmail can
convert the format automatically, I am not convinced the prompting
is necessary.

    PS: What's the plan for people who use both Emacs-22 and Emacs-23 to
    access their rmail mail?

Each version can convert the file, so it does work.

Making it prompt each time will make that somewhat more annoying.
