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).

Fixing the implementation would be preferrable but since no
one has stepped up to the plate on that, the doc change I
added is the only practical fix.

Barry:  Which is preferable, the documentation change or the
bugfix?
