This means basically that the library from being HTML based turns into
a generic protocol code base with a set of independent protocol
modules. A combination of this also gives the possibility of viewing
rfc822 messages - both HTML formatted and the original message.
Multipart, however will not get implemented right now - simply because
of the amount of other work to be done :-(
