IIRC, there's a special branch of Emacs where RMAIL was modified to
not convert the incoming mail to the Babyl format, and instead store
it in the mbox fiormat.  I think there was also some support for MIME
in that branch.

How about merging that branch with CVS HEAD now, so that it could be
part of the next release?
