With GMime prior to 2.1.17, splitting a signed message may result in a  
reconstructed message with a broken signature, and splitting an  
encrypted message may result in an undecipherable reconstructed  
message.  GMime-2.1.17 is available in the same place:  
<http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/sources/v2.1/gmime-2.1.17.tar.gz>.

If you split a message with a tarball attached, you may find that some  
gateway will mangle it (my ISP does!).  Balsa attempts to handle two  
known types of mangling, but gateways can be so creative--please report  
any failures.
