May I suggest, rather than a class hierarchy, that filter services
be used instead? Instant and transparent translation from any
format to NeXTMail, making Mail.app compatible with any other mailer.
I hate to make a suggestion and run, but I can't do this - I'm not
a mail format expert and I don't have the time right now. Just
raising the possibility.
