+========================
+
+Improved handling of message/rfc822 parts
+
+  Both in the CLI and the emacs interface.  Output of rfc822 parts now
+  includes the primary headers, as well as the body and all subparts.
+  Output of the completely raw rfc822-formatted message, including all
+  headers, is unfortunately not yet supported (but hopefully will be
+  soon).
