Now that I sent the msg, I am a bit confused by what I wrote myself. :-)
I am aware that rmail by itself does not deal with attachments (but
apparently forgot about it while writing the above). I most recently
have been using etach, though I am not completely happy with it. I have
tried other things in the past (rmime? rmail-mime?), but I do not recall
now. [I also recall having to save msgs to a file and manually run them
through "metamail -w", which I still do in desperate situations.]
I guess in absense of such support (and hoping etach or equivalent will
magically support mbox format :-), my main concern would be handling of
different character sets (Unicode, ISO-8859-x, KOI8-R, are most popular)
in plain text msgs, so that I can see the text without jumping through
hoops.

PS. Reading a multipart/alternative email with a text/plain component
encoded in quoted-printable [in a non-latin-based character set] or
base64 is currently a pain, as I have to detach and then play around
with decoding the character set in the raw RMAIL file... but this is a
separate story...
