# A class that makes each part of a multipart message "feel" like an
# ordinary file, as long as you use fp.readline(). Allows recursive
# use, for nested multipart messages. Probably best used together
# with module mimetools.
#
# Suggested use:
#
# real_fp = open(...)
# fp = MultiFile(real_fp)
#
# "read some lines from fp"
# fp.push(separator)
# while 1:
# "read lines from fp until it returns an empty string" (A)
# if not fp.next(): break
# fp.pop()
# "read remaining lines from fp until it returns an empty string"
#
# The latter sequence may be used recursively at (A).
# It is also allowed to use multiple push()...pop() sequences.
# Note that if a nested multipart message is terminated by a separator
# for an outer message, this is not reported, even though it is really
# illegal input.
