- /* This file provides the ability to save up the entire contents of a MIME
- object (of arbitrary size), and then emit it all at once later. The
- buffering is done in an efficient way that works well for both very large
- and very small objects.
-
- This is used in two places:
-
- = The implementation of multipart/alternative uses this code to do a
- one-part-lookahead. As it traverses its children, it moves forward
- until it finds a part which cannot be displayed; and then it displays
- the *previous* part (the last which *could* be displayed.) This code
- is used to hold the previous part until it is needed.
-
- = The S/MIME code (both MimeEncryptedPKCS7 and MimeMultipartSignedPKCS7)
- use this code to delay presenting an object to the user until its
- signature has been verified. The signature cannot be completely verified
- by the underlying crypto code until the entire object has been read;
- however, it would be wrong to present a signed object to the user without
- first knowing whether the signature is correct (in other words, we want
- to present the "signature matches" or "signature does not match" blurb to
- the user *before* we show them the object which has been signed, rather
- than *after*.)
