[PATCH] add MIME-aware footers

Hi,

I've been bitten by the footer-function not being MIME-aware. I've read up the 
topic on the list-archive and found out that I'm not the only one and that a 
solution has to be separatable from the core mlmmj.

I found the altermime program (http://www.pldaniels.com/altermime/) which 
seems to be a perfect match for the MIME-munging required. So I wrote a small 
shell script to integrate altermime and mlmmj.

How to use it:

- install altermime to /usr/bin/altermime
- copy the attached mlmmj-amime-receive into /usr/bin
- put the footer-text for the different MIME-types into 
control/amime-footer-text
control/amime-footer-html
control/amime-footer-base64
- replace mlmmj-recieve with mlmmj-amime-receive in /etc/aliases, e.g.
myml:   "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-amime-receive -L /var/spool/mlmmj/myml/"
watch out for recieve vs. receive...
- newaliases

Morten, I hope this solution is acceptable for inclusion into mlmmj. I 
attached mlmmj-amime.patch too, this is intended for you and adds mlmmj-amime-
receive into contrib.

Kind regards,

Gerd
