Yes, that would work. But, you shouldn't have to do that. guile-email
should do that internally. This is a bug. I'll fix it. Thanks for the
bug report.

In general, you should never have to manually invoke any function
provided by guile-email other than parse-email. If you have to, it's
probably a bug in guile-email.

You will be able to use the bug fix in guile-email only from the next
version (v0.2). That might take a while. Or, perhaps I'll do a quick
bugfix release v0.1.1 in a week's time.

Ok, nice. :-)

We now have a mailing list -- guile-email@systemreboot.net -- for
guile-email. You can post any guile-email bugs or any other matter to
that list. I have CCed this mail to the list.

I'm also working on writing up documentation for guile-email. See
tentative first steps at https://guile-email.systemreboot.net/manual (I
might have to change this URL in the future).

I also wrote a very simple one-page website for guile-email:
https://guile-email.systemreboot.net
