I'm planning to write an app that will extract certain messages in
mailboxes stored in Eudora and Thunderbird formats. These are both
"plain text" formats, but the character encoding varies greatly from one
message to the other. I wonder how to deal with that, so that the
messages comes out in the right encoding.
I suppose I need to decode each message according to its MIME headers to
get it right, but now I wonder how to store the messages in memory
before decoding them. Would it be right to treat the text as binary data?
