So what are you going to do about it? :-)

I like standards conforming. I'd only like to have a couple of
variables to define the separator, beginning and end of a digest,
which would default to the RFC, so that we can configure it to burst
the digests we read... I ended up copying vm-burst-digest into another
function and hacking it to burst ctt-digest.
