Unfortunately, I seem to be a donkey. I actually started up emacs 22
- must have found the wrong icon, by habit, in the menu :-(
When I use emacs23 (with no .elc files in site now) I still get the
same problem.

hmm ... seems to implicate rmime a lot.
So I commented out

(add-hook 'rmail-show-message-hook 'rmime-format)
(add-hook 'rmail-edit-mode-hook 'rmime-cancel)
(autoload 'rmime-format "rmime" "" nil)

from my config and tried again, getting: <quote>

hmm ... still involves lots of rmime - maybe that's built-in these
days. Moved my copies of metamail.el, rmailmime.el, rmime.el to an
out-of-the-way directory (I think only the last was actually being
used, but hey ... its fellow travellers can go with it). The loading
of a sample babyl-format file then proceeds with a minor delay but no
hitch.
So bug is still closed, but I closed it for all the wrong reasons !
Actual cause was an out-of-date rmime.el from I-forget-where, not a
problem with .elc files,
Eddy.
