                     16: The MIME parser stream presents a MIME document. It recursively
                     17: invokes the format manager to handle embedded formats.<P>
                     18: 
                     19: As well as stripping off and parsing the headers, the MIME parser has
                     20: to parse any weirld MIME encodings it may meet within the body parts
                     21: of messages, and must deal with multipart messages. <P>
                     22: 
                     23: This module is implemented to the level necessary for operation with
                     24: WWW, but is not currently complete for any arbitrary MIME message.<P>
                     25: 
                     26: Check the <A NAME="z0" HREF="HTMIME.c">source</A> for latest additions
                     27: to functionality.<P> The MIME parser is complicated by the fact that
                     28: WWW allows real binary to be sent, not ASCII encoded.  Therefore the
                     29: netascii decoding is included in this module. One cannot layer it by
                     30: converting first from Net to local text, then decoding it. Of course,
                     31: for local files, the net ascii decoding is not needed.  There are
                     32: therefore two creation routines. <P>
