! 69: HISTORY
! 70: -------
! 71:
! 72: As a developer and user of Electronic Mail clients, I had come to
! 73: realize that the vast majority of E-Mail client solutions had
! 74: less-than-satisfactory MIME implementations. More often than not these
! 75: E-Mail clients created broken MIME messages and/or would incorrectly
! 76: try to parse a MIME message thus subtracting from the full benefits
! 77: that MIME was meant to provide. GMime is meant to address this issue
! 78: by following the MIME specification as closely as possible while also
! 79: providing programmers with an extremely easy to use application
! 80: programming interface (API).
