Re: Merging quoted-printable functions

[Richard Stallman]

    3. mail/rmail.el
       rmail-decode-quoted-printable (region)

I just wrote some code (which I am not sure how to check in)
to get rid of that.  If you want to install before I can,
feel free.

    1. mail/mail-utils.el
       mail-(un)quote-printable (string)

    2. gnus/qp.el
       quoted-printable-{en,de}code-{region|string}

Merging these into one is a good idea.  If the one you choose
is the code from gnus/qp.el, let's move it to directory mail/.

    I would not like to append the mail- prefix, though. Is this OK?

Ok.

Can you preserve the old names in mail-... as aliases or trivial
interfaces to the new functions?

    Also, I would like quoted-printable-...-region functions to return the
    resulting size, as their base64-...-region analogs do.

That can't break anything, so no reason why not.
