Ahh, so the stuff I'm seeing from exiscan that is multi lined is *supposed*
to be going to a separate log file, but since I'm catching ALL the different
levels to one, it's all jumbled up together :P  I didn't think of that!
This I can fix :)

I'm still curious why the demime part is dumping out all the headers though?
What's the purpose of seeing that information (I know more info is good, but
why only for demime)?
