Truer words have never been spoken; it's used by so much (including the
profile parser).

Okay ... just shooting from the hip, and based on our discussion back in
January ... here's something (I'm ignoring how this would be implemented
for now, and I'm not defining any of the structures).  I hope these
functions would be obvious in operation.

int nmh_openmsg(struct message, messagehandle *, char **error);

int nmh_getheader(messagehandle, const char *, char **header, int *numheaders,
                  char **error);

int nmh_getmime(messagehandle, mimehandle_ret *, char **error);

int nmh_openmime(mimehandle, char **type, char **subtype,
                 int *nested, mimehandle_ret *, char **error);

int nmh_nextmime(mimehandle, char **type, char **subtype, int *iterator,
                 char **error);

int nmh_closemime(mimehandle);

int nmh_closemsg(message);

I'm sure there are problems with this, just wanted to get the ball rolling.
