;; 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 <Spike@world.std.com>.
