The Rmail/mbox merge has been abandoned in favor of a restart using the current rmail.el file. A comprehensive list of changes will be supplied when pmail.el is morphed back into rmail.el The current status is that pmail.el supports basic Rmail navigation (no summary support) and shows the current message in a special buffer using buffer-swap-text. No decoding is done yet. That is the next step.

This file describes the CVS branch in which it is maintained.
Everything below the line is branch-specific.
________________________________________________________________________

This is the "HEAD" branch, otherwise known as the "trunk".  Its primary
purpose is to accumulate changes that are not yet partitioned into a
specific (versioned) release.  When people say "use CVS emacs", this is
the branch they are talking about.  Likewise, a "cvs checkout" without
the "-r" option results in this branch.

The plans for this branch are not specified; Emacs hackers add to it
relatively free of constraint (aside from proper legal / accounting
practices), although sometimes there is related discussion on the
emacs-devel mailing list.

The closure process for this branch is undocumented; concepts such as
"freeze", "release", or "integration with the trunk" are not applicable
to this branch.
