Why do you find it better to review recipes in a tarball? I've explained why MIME-attached tarballs are frustratingly bad. How can you read them from your mail client? One of RecipeLint's early actions is to unpack the tarball, so it could take a directory like the one produced by the MailRecipe format without too much work. That's probably a good idea, as it would let people check their local recipes before trying to Compile them and failing. Which package is ReviewRecipes in?
