        ** A few fixes for better rfc compliance, and cleaner code.

        * camel-mime-utils.c (header_encode_param): a bunch of logic
        cleanups with new util functions.
        (header_decode_init): setup a new type ATTR_CHAR, for
        attribute-char.

        * tests/misc/test2.c (main): new test for rfc2184 stuff.

        * camel-mime-utils.c (header_convert): helper to convert between
        charsets.
        (rfc2184_decode): fix a bunch of logic problems and use the helper
        above to simplify code.
        (decode_param_token): removed, not needed.
        (header_decode_rfc2184_param): removed, not needed.
        (header_decode_param): removed, not needed.  ugh.
        (header_decode_param_list): completely rewritten, hence lack of
        need of above.

			A generic Messaging Library


                                   ----
				

Introduction:
-------------

Camel is a generic messaging library. It supports the standard 
messaging system for receiving and sending messages. It is the 
messaging backend for Evolution.

The name "camel" stands for ... nothing. Open area of development there.
You know, that "bazaar" thing. Maybe could we organize a big contest on
gnome-list to find the best explanation :)

Camel draws heavily from JavaMail and the IMAP4rev1 RFC. People
wanting to hack on a provider should read the JavaMail API
specification, but CMC and MAPI are of interest too.

 
Organization:
-------------

The library is roughly a set of abstract classes, some kind of generic
"interfaces" (IDL interfaces, not Java interfaces).

Particular implementations are called providers.

Here are the basic objects:

* CamelService : An abstract class representing an access to a server.
Handles the connection and authentication to any server.

* CamelStore (CamelService): A hierarchy of folders on a server.

* CamelFolder : An object containing messages. A folder is always
associated with a store.

* CamelMessage : An object contained in folders. Is defined by a set
of attributes and a content. (Attributes include: the date it was
received, the sender address, .....)

* CamelTransport (CamelService): A way to send messages.
