[mel-base-devel] mel.mime:parts not working properly for rfc 2822 (reading from a file)

[Fred Gibson]

How about a function such as "(defun skip-rfc2822-header-part (stream
part) ..." which would read the stream just past the desired header?

I can take a pass at this if it would help.

My best,

Fred
