One of the issues that Rmail/mbox needs to address is how to handle the
content type decoding in order to display a message correctly. Is this
a sufficient question in order for you to weigh in and help us determine
what the correct thing to do is?
Thanks,

What is different between what Rmail/mbox needs to do and what Rmail
does on the trunk now?

It's my understanding that Rmail/babyl uses Mule whereas Rmail/mbox does
not and that this is the root of the issue. And that is about as deep
as my understanding goes ... at least right now.

If by "uses Mule" you mean decoding non-ASCII text, then that's the
only way of decoding and encoding text in Emacs. If Rmail/mbox wants
to be able to display non-ASCII text (and I'm sure it wants), it's
_got_ to "use Mule" for that. Just like Rmail/Babyl does already.

Ouch. If that is true, this feature is definitely not ready for
landing until you get a review from somebody who understands Mule and
email. Any of the Gnus guys, Simon Josefsson, Daiki Ueno, et al.
