New version of newmail in preparation

I've been working on an updated version of the newmail tool.

Basically it contains routines to convert header lines when they
contain encoded non-ascii characters. These were emitted raw before.
To reachieve this behaviour you'll have to use the -r switch.

The improvements currently are:

 . Corrected handling of long (and multiline) header fields in
   compliance to section 2.2.3 of RFC 2822

 . decode header lines when they contain non-ascii characters

 . convert header lines into the current output charset

Displaying the decoded header lines properly requires you to set a
proper locale with either LANG= or LC_CTYPE=. This is the same
behaviour as with programs like ls or mutt.

The code is in CVS already.

Please give it a try.

Regards,

        Joey
