Summary

Interface functions for parsing mail

Commentary

This file contains wrapper functions for a wide range of mail
parsing functions.  The idea is that there are low-level libraries
that implement according to various specs (RFC2231, DRUMS, USEFOR),
but that programmers that want to parse some header (say,
Content-Type) will want to use the latest spec.

So while each low-level library (rfc2231.el, for instance) decodes
faithfully according to that (proposed) standard, this library is
the interface library.  If some later RFC supersedes RFC2231, one
would just have to write a new low-level library, adjust the
aliases in this library, and the users and programmers won't notice
any changes.
