of the mail later.

This is intentional. Doing the scan over the string in strlen()
there means the data is read twice. This is expensive over millions
of calls. Not doing the strlen there, as it is only needed when
convert_string_internal is called is a definate performace win.

I'll check out the rest later. Thanks,

Jeremy.
