[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi. There.

I was trying to export  an email from gmail. and watching it inside
emacs.

gmail exports as eml. and there is a ruby utility eml2mbox, which I have
used for converting to mbox the eml file.

On emacs. I was trying to see which builtin mail client is simple for
opening mbox. For using less keystrokes rmail beat gnus. But rmail does
not render the email as gnus does. See the image below:

Also. I have tried this with emacs -Q

ps:just in case. I am attaching the mbox file.

Your mbox file is corrupted: it has DOS-style CRLF end-of-line
format.  Convert the EOLs to Unix newline-only format, and Rmail
will display the text correctly.

I see no bug here.

Yes. I changed It, and rmail rendered it properly

    Eli> I see no bug here.

Right. No bug. The only thing to mention is that gnus some way detects
it and renders it pretty well.

Thanks. Sorry for the noise

Gnus tries to be more user-friendly here, I guess.

But as this doesn't seem to be an rmail bug, I'm now closing this bug
report.
