Quick notes - I want to go to bed...
Added functionality to MIME_Message that allows multiple MIME_Parts to be
grouped together under a single Content-Type in the message.
i.e. Before you could only have this:
1. application/blah-blah
2. application/blah-blah-2
Now you can have this:
1. protocol=application/pgp-encryption
1.1 application/pgp-encryption
1.2 application/octet-stream
This will come in handy for decrypting/decoding PGP messages. Thanks to
Ilya for first pointing RFC 2015 out to me.
Anyway, now all 3 types of outgoing messages conform to RFC 2015 - as far
as I can tell (actually almost. I have to figure out a way to FORCE the
MIME stuff to obey my 7bit encoding requests for text that is being signed -
it is required that all signed text must be 7bit [or quoted-printable] but
even if I explicitly set it, it still gets converted to 8bit).

'micalg' parameter should now be set correctly - at least it works on my
system.
some documentation cleanups also.
