This is getting close to a thought I've had lingering for a while. Has
anyone made any checks as to how close the nmh mime support is to the
needs of exmh? nmh has gotten quite a few features which exmh has
implemented itself, and it just seems like a Good Thing to reuse the
(supposedly faster) c version. If it's close enough I'm sure we can 
add a few patches to it to do the right thing.
