My comment is that we should first make Rmail/mbox perform as well as Rmail/Babyl, in this regard. This means you need to be able to decode the body of a single-part message and display it correctly. As soon as this part is done, we can recommend Rmail users to switch to Rmail/mbox. The multi-part/MIME handling can be improved later.
