MMSG command.  Enjoy!


Summary of Changes
------------------

o Added LISTKEYS command which can be used to list server and client
  public keys from the ~./silc directory.  See /HELP LISTKEYS.

o Improved the MMSG command.  It now supports the target so it can be used
  to send private messages too without opening a windows.  It also
  detects the MIME type now automatically.  Support for digitally signing
  the messages was also added.  See /HELP MMSG, the help file is there
  now. :)  Replace the old silc-mime.pl script with the new one to take
  advantage of all new features.

Known Issues
------------

- Known Issues in SILC Client

  - It is possible that some times the user list is not printed or is
    printed as incomplete when joining to a channel.  This is due to a
    failure in the user resolvings and can happen for example when some
    user quits the network at the same time you join the channel.  In
    this case the failure of the resolving may leave the user list
    printing incomplete.

  - It is possible that some notifications, such as channel join,
    are not delivered to user interface due to same resolving reason as
    described above.
