The mailbox should not be decoded, most likely.
The decoding should only happen when displaying a message.
That would mean decoding each message when you move to it,
and reencoding it when you move away from it. And I presume
it would have to reencode the current message to save it.
Not good!
Or it would mean decoding it in a separate buffer, which has
its own big inconveniences.
I think it should decode a message when it is first visited (and the
extra header that Rmail saves data in is constructed).
(I don't recall whether I implemented that already in Rmail-inbox.)
I think the issue of decoding needs to be dealt with before
the Rmail-inbox branch is merged in.
