i thought a bit on this, and it seems that mbox MUST be opened in
unibyte mode, otherwise the results will be broken.
mbox may contain arbitrary 8-bit data (coming from 8-bit CTT mime
parts e.g. in utf-8). these 8-bit char sequences must not be
interpreted by mule as multibyte chars because this is plain wrong:
these sequences come from random standard registered charsets which
have nothing to do with internal mule encoding. so, the mbox should be
treated as a raw (uni)byte sequence, but not as something that has
relation to internal mule encoding.
Best regards, -- Vladimir.
