[PATCH 0/2] emacs: allow message/rfc822 to be inserted in the mailstore

Several people including id:87bmnlko2o.fsf at len have asked to be able
to reply directly to message/rfc822 messages from the emacs
frontend. Doing that in emacs would be likely to be a little fragile
as all other replies are generated by the cli code.

This pair of patches provide an alternative approach: let the user
insert the attached message directly into the mailstore. Once it is
there, the user can reply as normal.

I have been running something like this for a long time (see
id:1463744295-12533-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009 at gmail.com for my
earlier version) with no problems.

This new version includes some better error checking, and allows the
user to specify tags for the inserted message. The new version is not
heavily tested but seems to work.

Best wishes

Mark
