F: support MIME in replying

F1: when producing the draft file to be edited

The replcomps file will need to be updated to include suitable calls
to decode(). Then the headers will appear in the editor correctly.

repl uses an mhl format file to process the body text. So if we've
changed mhl as described in D above we can use that to include a
suitably decoded and charset-converted body.

This will allow 'repl' on a MIME message to drop you into an editor
with sensibly decoded text ready to edit.

Do you mean "replying to a single-body-part mail with MIME headers that
specify an C-T-E and 'Content-Type: charset='", and intentionally excluding
the whole *other* can-o-worms called "replying to a multipart that includes
possibly a text/plain and an application/msword" or similar?

Replying to a multipart in a sane manner is a bigger issue for me than
replying to a "foreign" charset....
