What I'll need to do is parse the headers for from and to address  and also
subjects then look at the body for matching keywords -- like PORN ;)  I'm
not that worried about attachements yet -- but in the future it would be
nice to check for those Outlook Transmitted Diseases.

So if I'm following the documentation correctly, I'll need to save each
message to a local file since all of those mentioned use a file pointer.
Then use rfc822 to load in my header and look for any content boundaries.
Use those boundaries to load each piece of the body in using Multifile, if
no boundaries, just load the whole body.  Is that right?
