# Utility functions
# -----------------


# Return a random string usable as a multipart boundary.
# The method used is so that it is *very* unlikely that the same
# string of characters will every occur again in the Universe,
# so the caller needn't check the data it is packing for the
# occurrence of the boundary.
#
# The boundary contains dots so you have to quote it in the header.
