I'm actively working on rmail-mbox-branch for one year now. I had to fix and redo many functions and the diff was growing too fast. It's 200 KB (diffs to rmail*) + 20 KB (diffs to mail-utils) + 70 KB (a new MIME library which is IMHO cleaner than the one we have in Gnus). What's working already: * message sorting (name, date, size, etc.), filtering (based on labels), editing (complicated by MIME) * header field sorting, filtering, RFC 2047, RFC 2231 * some text, image, message and multipart MIME handlers * simple MIME-compose functions (to be heavily changed soon) I have some new ideas which I'll be working on. I would very like to integrate all my changes into Emacs CVS, but it is by no means complete or even better than the current rmail-mbox-branch. If you take my changes as a base, I will find time to fix whatever you consider broken in my code. Thank you. -- Alexander Pohoyda PGP Key fingerprint: 7F C9 CC 5A 75 CD 89 72 15 54 5F 62 20 23 C6 44
