What I wrote is about GNU Emacs and is based on its manual for
version 20.6, the output of `describe-coding-system' and simple
experiments with opening e.g. HELLO file with the `binary' coding
system.

Looks like some tracing should be done to check whether the values of
`nnmbox-file-coding-system' and `nnmbox-active-file-coding-system'
are really used when opening mbox.
