;;; Commentary:

;; This file contains wrapper functions for a wide range of mail
;; parsing functions.  The idea is that there are low-level libraries
;; that impement 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.
