This sounds great. I'm quite new to evolution could you give me a hint
how to do that? I'm starting with an EMEventTargetMessage object where I
can get an CamelMimeMessage object from. But how can I dump this one
into a stream? Writing to a stream requires a buffer of type gchar, but
I have a CamelMimeMessage object and I even do not know the length of
the message. What function calls could I look at?
