Summary: mimetools.decode doesn't work with '7bit' encoding

Details: 1. mimetools.decode/encode doesn't work with '7bit'/'8bin' encoding.

From mimetools.py:

...
def decode(input, output, encoding):
    ...
    if encoding in ('7bit', '8bit'):
        output.write(input.read())
>>>>>>>>You forget 'return' there!
    if decodetab.has_key(encoding):
        pipethrough(input, decodetab[encoding], output)
    else:
        raise ValueError, \
          'unknown Content-Transfer-Encoding: %s' % encoding

2. mimetools.py used tabs instead of spaces.

3. Bug in documentation

12.5.2 'MultiFile example', line 2:
import MultiFile # instead of 'multifile'

Comment:
Fixed in version 1.18 of mimetools.py and version 1.10 of libmultifile.tex.
Conversion of tabs to spaces won't be done for Python 2.0, according to PEP 42.
