You mean you want to replace the branch by combining both features so they coexist in the same branch (e.g. in the trunk)? That sounds like a good plan. Even better if you can avoid duplicating files, using (if rmail-mbox ) where necessary instead. As long as the BABYL code is not broken before the mbox code works, and as long as there is clear understanding that we *will* finish the mbox support, you could even install this code on the trunk so people can test it just by (setq rmail-mbox t).
