Encouraged by some experiments I thought I would make the major change.
However it failed.

This is run with -q and loaded one of my smaller mail files in Babyl
format. The file is called ~/MAIL/c-m-r It starts well, creates the
temporary file and starts to write to it, until I get the message that
it failed to find ",,"

This is repeatable and also happens on other mail files.  I will try
again with the debugger enabled.

I believe this indicates you have processed the message with the
add-on rmime.el at some point. This should be fixed, as of 2009-02-07,
provided that rmime.el is available when you run unrmail.
