;; (require 'url-util)
(eval-when-compile (require 'mm-decode))
;; (require 'mailcap)
;; The following functions in the byte compiler's warnings are known not
;; to cause any real problem for the following reasons:
;; - mm-save-part-to-file, mm-destroy-parts: always used
;;   after mm-dissect-buffer and defined in the same file.
;; The following are autoloaded instead of `require'd to avoid eagerly
;; loading all of URL when turning on url-handler-mode in the .emacs.
(autoload 'url-expand-file-name "url-expand" "Convert url to a fully specified url, and canonicalize it.")
(autoload 'mm-dissect-buffer "mm-decode" "Dissect the current buffer and return a list of MIME handles.")
(autoload 'url-scheme-get-property "url-methods" "Get property of a URL SCHEME.")
