Sigh.  You'd THINK that.  But in practice it's hard.  You care about line
length; fgets() (used now) and getline() read input in lines.  If you used
fread(), you'd have to keep track of line delimiters itself.  Check out
scan_content() in mhbuildsbr.c.  The loop commented "Scan the unencoded
content" is what we're talking about.
