Require button.el. (etags-tags-apropos): Use make-text-button instead of add-text-properties. Use snarf-tag-function and etags-goto-tag-location instead of find-tag-other-window (it's too simple).

;;; 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 <[e-mail]>.
