Apparently the call to g_mime_content_type_new() is deep in  
GMime--Balsa asks GMime to parse an entire message in frame #49,  
and the error occurs many frames deeper, so there's practically  
nothing Balsa can do anticipate and avoid the error.

Whether g_warning() is the appropriate way to warn you that a  
broken Content-type is being replaced with "application/octet- 
stream" is debatable.  We could ask Jeff to tone it down or  
disable it completely in released versions.

Best,
