Both metamail and mpack do prefix matches when looking for delimiter

Of course, there are no copies of Eudora deployed that will be broken by
making the change you propose. I understand that you don't think it's a
change, but it is clearly a change to the text of 1342/1521, though perhaps
the grammar does not adequately match the text.
But like I said, I'll put out a beta this weekend that does boundaries
differently.
