Hi David,

  mhfixmsg [+folder [msgs] | -file file] [-outfile file]

Are stdin and stdout required?  An `anno -inplace' on an existing
message would seem adequate.

A filter would be handy with procmail.

Don't bother backing up stdin, it's transient by definition.

I was thinking that at one point, though it would be nice
when used as a filter.

and using one of these for the filename, in order:
  1) Message-ID with all / converted to periods, if file does
     not already exist.
  2) Message-ID with all / and \ converted to periods, if file
     does not already exist.  (Need this for Windows.)
  3) Concatenation of BACKUP_PREFIX (usually ",") and input
     filename.  For stdin, that is a tmp filename of form
     mhfixmsg-XXXXXX.

Why not replace all three with rmmproc; I've already got that doing
what *I* want.  It's a pain it's not used everywhere as it is
without adding more exceptions.

Good point, I'll insert rmmproc before all of the above.
I'll keep them because I want them and they don't take
much code.

For my needs I'd be happy with something that turned all parts into
sane representations, e.g. kept text/html as such, moved to utf-8,
moved to 8-bit if reasonably else base64; quoted-printable wouldn't
be needed?

Not sure what you're saying about base64 and q-p?  That
charset translation must include decoding of the part?

David
