- ADD. configurable display format of attachments
       (page_mime_format, page_uue_format, attachment_format)
- ADD. add Content-Language (RFC 3282) evaluation (pager only)
       (not very useful atm, but might be used to hide parts later on)
- ADD. avoid fopen()/fclose() overhead in subscribe_pattern()
       (speeds up 'S'ubscribe notably
