Apparently, Rmail/babyl rearranges the headers and then sets the buffer
boundaries, thus eliminating the problem. Rmail/mbox could have (and
probably should have) used the same approach.
Now however, it is pretty clear that a presentation buffer is in order
to deal with the coding issue, something I ill understand today but I'm
gradually picking up. I also think that the coding issue implicitly
means better MIME handling within Rmail. Not hardly a bad thing,
especially given modern Emacs' improved graphic capabilities.
