/* The MimeInlineText class is the superclass of all handlers for the
MIME text/ content types (which convert various text formats to HTML,
in one form or another.)
It provides two services:
= if ROT13 decoding is desired, the text will be rotated before
the `parse_line' method it called;
= text will be converted from the message's charset to the "target"
charset before the `parse_line' method is called.
The contract with charset-conversion is that the converted data will
be such that one may interpret any octets (8-bit bytes) in the data
which are in the range of the ASCII characters (0-127) as ASCII
characters. It is explicitly legal, for example, to scan through
the string for "<" and replace it with "<", and to search for things
that look like URLs and to wrap them with interesting HTML tags.
The charset to which we convert will probably be UTF-8 (an encoding of
the Unicode character set, with the feature that all octets with the
high bit off have the same interpretations as ASCII.)
#### NOTE: if it turns out that we use JIS (ISO-2022-JP) as the target
encoding, then this is not quite true; it is safe to search for the
low ASCII values (under hex 0x40, octal 0100, which is '@') but it
is NOT safe to search for values higher than that -- they may be
being used as the subsequent bytes in a multi-byte escape sequence.
It's a nice coincidence that HTML's critical characters ("<", ">",
and "&") have values under 0x40...
