+;; We used to use a string-as-multibyte here, but it is really incorrect.
+;; This function is used when we're about to insert a unibyte string
+;; into a potentially multibyte buffer.  The string is either an article
+;; header or body (or both?), undecoded.  When Emacs is asked to convert
+;; a unibyte string to multibyte, it may either use the equivalent of
+;; nothing (e.g. non-Mule XEmacs), string-make-unibyte (i.e. decode using
+;; locale), string-as-multibyte (decode using emacs-internal coding system)
+;; or string-to-multibyte (keep the data undecoded as a sequence of bytes).
+;; Only the last one preserves the data such that we can reliably later on
+;; decode the text using the mime info.
