No, I mean "if we're going to let mail-extr.el bitrot, what are we
going to use instead?" and it seems the answer is, there's nothing.
So we can't just let mail-extr.el bitrot, and I conclude it is
necessary to do some work on it.

Thank larsi, who resisted all attempts to even use the relatively
rigorous functions available in rfc822.el, let alone a real parser.
