Multipart mail

[Eliseev Vladimir <evlad cge ru>]

Hello!

I had received 5 messages which are actual the only one.  Messages were sent from TheBat! which is configured to split outgoing mail into parts of limited size.
I found that balsa (2.0.15) did not build original message from 5 parts.  Moreover, balsa does not handle well the contents of the e-mail.  The 1/5 mail has an ugly displayed body:

Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 12:44:19 +0300
From: =?koi8-r?B?4sHSwc7P1yDrz87T1MHO1MnO?= <someone@somewhere.ru>
X-Mailer: The Bat! (v1.60) Personal
Reply-To: =?koi8-r?B?4sHSwc7P1yDrz87T1MHO1MnO?= <someone@somewhere.ru>
X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
Message-ID: <849830390.20040109124419@somewhere.ru>
To: person@somewhere.ru
Subject: big message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------2C381225D18A93"

Hello person,

  Just the test

....etc....

The mail header of 1/5 part contains:

Subject: big message (part 1 of 5)
Message-ID: <p#1split@083B849830390.20040109124419@somewhere.ru>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: message/partial; id="split@083B849830390.20040109124419@somewhere.ru";
\tnumber=1; total=5
Status: RO
Content-Length: 2021137
Lines: 26266

What are you thinking about the example?  Maybe it's time to implement multipart mails in balsa (not only incoming but outgoing too)?  Or maybe it's in TODO list already?
