I don't see how that follows, but any file that has to represent the full range of Emacs characters has to be stored in the internal encoding. I don't know what the rationale is for any of this, or why rmail uses emacs-mule now. > A good alternative would be to encode each message as what > the charset= header says (and add/fix such a header if there is none, or > if the one that's there lies). I doubt you should do anything to them, especially as you have no assurance any headers are correct.
