Summary: Footnote on bug in Mailbox with Windows text-mode files

Initial Comment:
SourceForge bug 586899 describes a problem with using
Mailbox on text-mode files under Windows. A fix is
going to be non-trivial, so a documentation change was
suggested.

This patch adds a footnote to the Mailbox documentation
(libmailbox.tex) that warns about the problem and
describes the workaround (use binary mode).
