* [PATCH 0/4] www|nntp: optimize uses of Email::Simple

We can rely on the documented behavior of Email::Simple->new
modifying its string buffer in-place to save us the trouble
of calling ->body (or ->body_set('') to clobber the buffer).

This yields significant memory use improvements in avoiding full
message body copies in the WWW mbox code.  Unfortunately, NNTP
messages with LF-only line-endings won't benefit, since the
protocol requires CRLF endings and the s/// operations get
expensive.

Memory bloat from giant emails and Email::MIME will require
more work :<

Eric Wong (4):
  nntp: rework and simplify art_lookup response
  mbox: use Email::Simple->new to do in-place modifications
  mbox: split header and body processing
  nntp: reduce syscalls for ARTICLE and BODY

We don't need some of the array elements returned from
art_lookup, anymore (and haven't used them in years).

We can also shorten the lifetime of the Email::Simple object by
relying on the fact Email::Simple->new will modify it's arg if
given a SCALARREF and allow us to avoid Email::Simple::body
calls.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to provide any noticeable
improvement in memory usage when dealing with a 30+ MB test
message, since our previous use of ->body_set('') was saving
some memory, but forcing a LF-only body to be CRLF was making
Perl allocate extra space for s///sg.
