No, that won't be needed if you don't touch the original mbox-format message, but instead display the results of decoding in a separate buffer. > And I presume it would have to reencode the current message to save > it.

Gnus works like that since time immemoriam, and I don't think anyone complained. > I think it should decode a message when it is first visited (and the > extra header that Rmail saves data in is constructed). And then what? how do you store the decoded message so that it is still in mbox format?
