Re: latin encodings, mail-lib, and posix regexp classes

Now onto what caused me to look for this. In mail-lib there are a
couple things that concern me. First, the regexps used to match names
won't work for names with latin encoded characters from iso-8859-15.
RFC (2)822 articles should not contain iso-8859-15 characters.
Perhaps mail-extr is supposed to operate on raw articles, not MIME
decoded ones?
I was going to go through the mail-extr.el file to find all the
changes, but decided to hold up until I found out the deal with POSIX
regexp classes. (since they're used fairly extensively in Emacs'
mail-lib).
mail-extr.el is in need of FSF syncing. Perhaps that would the first
step? It is a large task undertaking though.
