unrmail needs to be fixed to transfer the labels.
When I wrote it, there was no way to record labels in an mbox file
so discarding them was inevitable.
The simple fact that the buffer is automatically converted
is worrisome. I think we should prompt the user before doing it.
Maybe, but given that both the old and new versions of Rmail can
convert the format automatically, I am not convinced the prompting
is necessary.
PS: What's the plan for people who use both Emacs-22 and Emacs-23 to
access their rmail mail?
Each version can convert the file, so it does work.
Making it prompt each time will make that somewhat more annoying.
