    We were discussing Rmail/mbox.  In that context, whenever you need to
    decode a message body, the buffer needs to be in unibyte mode.

How can that be right?  The decoded non-ASCII characters cannot even
exist in a unibyte buffer.

I just did an experiment, and decode-coding-region worked fine in
a multibyte buffer.
