;; Note: Metamail does not have all options which is compatible with
;; the environment variables.  For that reason, matamail.el have to
;; hack the environment variables.  In addition, there is no way to
;; display all header fields without extra informative body messages
;; which is suppressed by "-q" option.

;; The idea of using metamail to process MIME messages is from
;; gnus-mime.el by Spike <[e-mail]>.
