                      7: <H1>MIME Parser</H1>The MIME parser stream presents a
                      8: MIME document. It recursively invokes
                      9: the format manager to handle embedded
                     10: formats.<P>
                     11: As well as stripping off and parsing
                     12: the headers, the MIME parser has
                     13: to parse any weirld MIME encodings
                     14: it may meet within the body parts
                     15: of messages, and must deal with multipart
                     16: messages. <P>
                     17: This module is implemented to the
                     18: level necessary for operation with
                     19: WWW, but is not currently complete
                     20: for any arbitrary MIME message.<P>
                     21: Check the <A
                     22: NAME="z0" HREF="HTMIME.c">source</A> for latest additions
                     23: to functionality.<P>
                     24: The MIME parser is complicated by
                     25: the fact that WWW allows real binary
                     26: to be sent, not ASCII encoded.  Therefore
                     27: the netascii decoding is included
                     28: in this module. One cannot layer
                     29: it by converting first from Net to
                     30: local text, then decoding it. Of
                     31: course, for local files, the net
                     32: ascii decoding is not needed.  There
                     33: are therefore two creation routines.
