Is there any work in progress? > > Didn't you yourself said that you were working on that? Yes, last weekend I have completed a small but extensible library which is plugable into RMail. It is able to parse a MIME message of any complexity and show it in the RMail buffer. I want, however, to finish some open points before I submit it here. BTW, it also does header decoding (RFC 2047). I have found a variable called rmail-enable-mime, and some void variables of type rmail-*-mime-* which don't fit into my implementation and I don't understand why they are here anyway. Open points are: 1) I want to have a single mechanism to hide header fields. Independent whether they come from the top-level entity (currently implemented by deleting/copying them) or any other entity. 2) If I save an email to the file, I want it to be the same message as RMail read from my mailbox. I want to be able to read it from another mail client, for example. 3) I agree that some action (transfer-/charset decoding, PGP signature verification, etc.) is OK to do once in function called from rmail-convert-to-babyl-format, but some other (picture previews, big attachement hiding, etc.) should be done by every (?) rmail-show-message call. I would like to hear some comments. -- Alexander Pohoyda PGP Key fingerprint: 7F C9 CC 5A 75 CD 89 72 15 54 5F 62 20 23 C6 44
