[darcs-devel] [issue26] Darcs needs real MIME parsing, fails with Mail.app, Courier

[Mark Stosberg]

I looked into this some. 

The current meager mail parsing happens in Darcs/Email.hs in the "read_mail"
routine around line 122. 

However, I suspect it would be fairly easy to take advantage of one of the
Haskell MIME parsing libraries which have appeared since the darcs project
started. For example, here's one from 2006, which appears to have a compatible
license:

http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell@haskell.org/msg19533.html

Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to "plug in it" ? 

My co-worker uses Mail.app and can't detach darcs patches, so my team is
directly affected by this.
