        !            16: The MIME parser stream presents a MIME document. It recursively
        !            17: invokes the format manager to handle embedded formats.<P>
        !            18:

        !            20: to parse any weirld MIME encodings it may meet within the body parts
        !            21: of messages, and must deal with multipart messages. <P>

        !            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>

        !            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>
