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.

;;; Commentary:

;; `M-x report-emacs-bug' starts an email note to the Emacs maintainers
;; describing a problem.  You need to be able to send mail from Emacs
;; to complete the process.  Alternatively, compose the bug report in
;; Emacs then paste it into your normal mail client.
