;;; Commentary:

;; Note: Metamail does not have all the options which are compatible with
;; the environment variables.  For that reason, metamail.el has to
;; hack the environment variables.  In addition, there is no way to
;; display all header fields without extra informative body messages
;; which are suppressed by the "-q" option.

;; The idea of using metamail to process MIME messages is from
;; gnus-mime.el by Spike <Spike@world.std.com>.
