MIME Parser

The MIME parser stream presents a MIME document. It recursively invokes the format manager to handle embedded formats.

As well as stripping off and parsing the headers, the MIME parser has to parse any weirld MIME encodings it may meet within the body parts of messages, and must deal with multipart messages.

This module is implemented to the level necessary for operation with WWW, but is not currently complete for any arbitrary MIME message.

Check the source for latest additions to functionality.

The MIME parser is complicated by the fact that WWW allows real binary to be sent, not ASCII encoded. Therefore the netascii decoding is included in this module. One cannot layer it by converting first from Net to local text, then decoding it. Of course, for local files, the net ascii decoding is not needed. There are therefore two creation routines.
