 // todo: allow more invalid content-type values, we now stop parsing on: empty media type (eg "content-type: ; name=..."), empty value for property (eg "charset=", missing quotes for characters that should be quoted (eg boundary containing "=" but without quotes), duplicate properties (two charsets), empty pairs (eg "text/html;;").
-// todo: what should our max line length be? rfc says 1000. messages exceed that. we should enforce 1000 for outgoing messages.
 // todo: should we be forgiving when closing boundary in multipart message is missing? seems like spam messages do this...
 // todo: should we allow base64 messages where a line starts with a space? and possibly more whitespace. is happening in messages. coreutils base64 accepts it, encoding/base64 does not.
 // todo: handle comments in headers?
