I'll pull in the files from the branch as they are needed. The new files are of course trivial to merge. I plan on handling files which need to be changed by renaming them initially to p* instead or r* but otherwise leave them intact from the branch. This is part of my goal to be able to have side by side instances of Rmail/babyl and Rmail/mbox running simultaneously. Then after a set of key people, probably you, rms and Stefan at the least, bless the Rmail/mbox variant, I'll do the merge which will be tantamount to combining the p* files into the r* files but all done using the trunk. It might make some sense to resolve conflicts as I pull in files from the branch that need to be modified. We'll see how it plays out. -pmr
