;; Note: Metamail does not have all options which is compatible with
;; the environment variables. For that reason, matamail.el have to
;; hack the environment variables. In addition, there is no way to
;; display all header fields without extra informative body messages
;; which is suppressed by "-q" option.
;; The idea of using metamail to process MIME messages is from
;; gnus-mime.el by Spike <Spike@world.std.com>.

"*Environment variables passed to `metamail'.
It must be a list of strings that have the format ENVVARNAME=VALUE.
It is not expected to be altered globally by `set' or `setq'.
Instead, change its value temporary using `let' or `let*' form.")
(defvar metamail-switches '("-m" "emacs" "-x" "-d" "-z")
"*Switches for `metamail' program.
-z is required to remove zap file.
It is not expected to be altered globally by `set' or `setq'.
Instead, change its value temporary using `let' or `let*' form.")
