Now, when there is a possibility to emit \frak instead of \over, one
could switch to the parser of Text::TeX (which does not support infix
macros, but should be much easier to maintain - it is not written to
run under perl4 :-().  tex2mail is close to be over the limit of
maintainability.

But I' looking at it - I hope -debug=31 helps...
