If we want to preserve the mbox file verbatim, we will have to keep it in memory unchanged and decode messages into another buffer. > BTW MIME mail can contain several parts with different encodings in each > one of them, so it's a bit misleading to say talk about "the buffer's > coding system" unless each part is displayed in another buffer, which > is undesirable in the general case. I was talking about RMAIL which doesn't yet support MIME. IIRC, adding such support was the motivation for decoding into a different buffer in the discussions I recall.
