Re: using qp.el, rfc2047.el in mailutils, rmail

[Richard Stallman]

    I was reminded of these changes I've had hanging around for ages.  I
    don't remember why they're not installed, but I don't recall any
    objection.

i dont want to do this.  qp.el is maintained primarily in another
repository, and not even self-contained.  it uses some mm- functions
i have never heard of.

if all that were moved out of th gnus subdir, then we could consider this.

                They use better implementations from Gnus.

in what sense are they better?
why make mail-utils use qp instead of vice versa?
