Change Log/Revision History:

  0.8.3a - 8/10/2000 - fixed miscellaneous stupidity related to the
                       recognition of boundary markers.  the code grows
                       ever uglier, but it seems to work better now,
                       particularly with message/delivery-status MIME,
                       which, by the way, is now passed by default like
                       text/plain is.  spaces are now permitted in a
                       comma-separated list of mime types (specified on
                       the command line for use with, say, the -i flag),
                       but for crying out loud, enclose the list in quotes
                       if you're going to put spaces in there, otherwise
                       they'll be interpreted as separate arguments, which
                       will result in bad behavior.  updated some of the
                       documentation a bit.  made the default MIME type of
                       a MIME section text/plain per RFC 2045, though i
                       apologize and promise i won't let the RFCs interfere
                       with this code ever again.  also, webtv's MTA seems
                       to send out bounces with a text/rfc822-headers MIME
                       type, so, what the hell, we'll treat that like we do
                       message/rfc822.

  0.8.2a - 2/24/2000 - fixed a small but stupid error that caused a variety
                       of bad bevaior.  good thing i don't write medical
                       software.  diff this with 0.8.2 if you want to find
                       the one line to remove ("$done=1;" around line 225)
                       that fixes 0.8.2 and makes it 0.8.2a (hardly worth a
                       whole new version number...)

  0.8.2 -  2/23/2000 - fixed a couple of STUPID STUPID bugs, tried to
                       implement an "input arbitrator" to let code push
                       input back into to the input stream if it read in
                       too much (remember, we're a filter ... one pass
                       only), but that was a dumb idea, or at least badly
                       implemented, so now there's a nifty a?b:c sort of
                       trick in the main while loop.  one line of push-back
                       only, but that should be all we need.  anyway, there
                       may still be bugs related to that or other failed
                       efforts (wait, am i supposed to admit to that? hmm),
                       so proceed with extra caution and be on the look out
                       for a hastily-released 0.8.3 with bugfixes.  smart
                       enough to release code with $DEBUG=1 commented OUT
                       this time.  oy...
