Re: problems with b2m, M-x unrmail

[Richard Stallman]

    I've written a Perl script, b2m.pl, to provide the same functionality
    as b2m.c and M-x unrmail while addressing all of the problems listed
    above.  It is attached to this message.  I'd be happy to have you
    distribute it as part of GNU Emacs instead of, or in addition to, the
    b2m C program.  I will maintain it if you do so.

Thanks.  We are planning to make Rmail use inbox format, and when that
happens, lots of Rmail users will want to do this conversion.  Having
a better program to do it is therefore very desirable.

I don't know Perl and I could not maintain this, but since you are
willing to maintain it, we can use it, provided you sign legal papers
for it.

Please email the following information to fsf-records@gnu.org, and we
will send you the assignment form that covers your program.

Please use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject
line of the message.
