I actually like the removal of q-encoding part. But I am not sure what
headers it should produce.  What should the beginning of the output file
look like? Does it just have "Subject: ", or does it still have the "From:
", "Date: " and "Subject: ", the first two of which the user would almost
always want to remove?

If we can decide a sane behaviour wrt the pseudo header, and if the option
is made _incompatible_ with --stdout when (and only when) emitting more
than one message, then I think it would be a good addition.
