Yeah, mime 1.2 has some code to handle it, but I tried tclsh+package
require Trf first, and it still took about a minute to parse 200kB mail.
Any idiot-proof URL to learn on MIME+Trf? I'd like to parse 1MB mail in
less than a minute (the destination server is a P3@500MHz for now).
Actually, it's what my boss wants (that is - he doesn't want me to kill
the server with this software :), I never liked this idea anyway.
