[New-bugs-announce] [issue28934] _mboxMMDF#get_message should delegate to get_bytes

[bpoaugust]

New submission from bpoaugust:

At present both _mboxMMDF#get_message and get_bytes read the file directly.

However the code in get_bytes duplicates some of the code in get_message. get_message should be recoded to use get_bytes.

It would then be possible to override get_bytes (which is also used by get_string) in order to transform the input stream e.g. to unmangle '>From ' lines.

But in any case it makes sense to reuse the code - DRY
