When in this "temporary" buffer, rmail would way quickier since it would have to just undigest the message and recompute a summary based on a very small amount of data. It sounds like a reasonable replacement for undigestify-rmail-message. After you have the sub-messages in the other Rmail file, there could be a second command which says to put them back into the first Rmail file in place of the digest.
