I have a 4-meg message in my PMAIL file.
Displaying it in Pmail takes around 12 seconds.
When I move to such a message, unless I have seen this problem
in the past hour, my first thought is that Emacs is hung.
I tend to type C-g, which can cause worse trouble.
I think pmail-show-message needs to display something in the echo area
saying "displaying message N" while showing a message above some
specified size, perhaps defaulting to 200k.
What do people think?
The worst pain is if I type n n and the first n goes to such
a message. It suggests to me that pmail-show-message should process
the message 100k at a time, in a pre-emptable loop.
