Thinking a bit more about pick: I'd expect a pick that had
to decode and translate via an external program on the fly
would be way too slow. I grep through 10's of 1000's of
messages at a time. I definitely want the permanent message
modification.
Yeah, but why would it have to call an external program? We have all
of the bits necessary internally. In a perfect world, I'd like pick
to have enough smarts to search through text/* parts by default (and
to convert to the local character set) when searching.
Not saying you _shouldn't_ do it, but I still think we should make all
of the tools handle MIME parts natively. We're 60-70% the way there on
show, we've basically got repl working, and forw ... well, if you do
forw -mime, it does preserve the MIME content completely.
