23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; Note: Metamail does not have all the options which are compatible with
26 ;; the environment variables. For that reason, metamail.el has to
27 ;; hack the environment variables. In addition, there is no way to
28 ;; display all header fields without extra informative body messages
29 ;; which are suppressed by the "-q" option.
31 ;; The idea of using metamail to process MIME messages is from
32 ;; gnus-mime.el by Spike <Spike@world.std.com>.
