;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides an abstraction to RFC822-style messages, used in
;; mail, news, and some other systems.  The simple syntactic rules for such
;; headers, such as quoting and line folding, are routinely reimplemented
;; in many individual packages.  This package removes the need for this
;; redundancy by representing message headers as association lists,
;; offering functions to extract the set of headers from a message, to
;; parse individual headers, to merge sets of headers, and to format a set
;; of headers.

;; The car of each element in the message-header alist is a symbol whose
;; print name is the name of the header, in all lower-case.  The cdr of an
;; element depends on the operation.  After extracting headers from a
;; messge, it is a string, the value of the header.  An extracted set of
;; headers may be parsed further, which may turn it into a list, whose car
;; is the original value and whose subsequent elements depend on the
;; header.  For formatting, it is evaluated to obtain the strings to be
;; inserted.  For merging, one set of headers consists of strings, while
;; the other set will be evaluated with the symbols in the first set of
;; headers bound to their respective values.
