Does anybody actually use the "metamail.el" in the net-utils package?
The code around line 182 looks somewhat dubious:
(let ((selective-display nil) ;Disable ^M to nl translation.
(kanji-fileio-code 2) ;Write in JIS code when nemacs.
(file-coding-system ;Write in JUNET style when mule.
(if (featurep 'mule) '*junet*))
(coding-system-for-write ;Write in iso-2022-jp style
'iso-2022-jp) ; when XEmacs/mule
)
This sets coding-system-for-write to 'iso-2022-jp regardless of
whether Mule is enabled or not; without Mule the iso-2022-jp coding
system is not available. I was only able to get this code to
work by commenting out these few lines.

Sigh. It's not dubious, it's just plain wrong. Japan-o-centric
coding strikes again.
I don't know what to do with it, I don't have time to look at it.
I'll put it in the queue to look at ....
Fortunately, there is probably nobody still using metamail.

Well, that's what I thought, "dubious" was just my attempt to be
diplomatic.

Maybe this file should just get yanked from the net-utils package?
It's only liable to confuse people and cause trouble (as it did for
me...)
