The other rfc* files are part of the Emacs MIME library, and nothing
calls those rfc* functions directly.  All calls go through the
mail-parse.el file, which calls the rfc* functions.  That way, when
new RFCs are made, one can write new rfc*.el files and choose whether
to have the mail-parse functions use the old standard or the new
standard, and so on.

I think fill-flowed.el would have been a fine name, but it's one
character too long.  What would a good, shorter name be?
