I took the liberty to remove rfcview.el from goodies, marked it as elpafied, and added a dep elpa-rfcview that can be uncommented whenever this package is elpafied. If it wasn't merged upstream it's likely you'll want to retain (and rename) 50_rfcview.diff, so for your convenience here is a link to the most recent surviving copy of it: https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/emacs-goodies-el/raw/21d3accaca567404a130c58a51f963fe7283692b/debian/patches/50_rfcview.diff Cheers, Nicholas
