84e58ab722 For the escape() function, added a reference to the quoteattrs() function

attribute values.
This closes SF bug #444707.

Cleaned up a variety of other minor markup errors.

5d54879647 Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support a 
get() method; just calling them is sufficient.  (There was a get() method
for this in an early version of the implementation.)

Reported by Mats Wichmann.

- This module, despite its name, now should conform to RFC 2822, the
  update to RFC 822.

  messages.

- Added documentation for other useful public functions such as
  quote(), unquote(), praseaddr(), and dump_address_pair().
