    mailbox-mbox: Ignore Content-Length headers
    
    Delete "g_mime_parser_set_respect_content_length(gmime_parser, TRUE);"
    
    The documentation for g_mime_parser_set_respect_content_length() states:
     * Most notably useful when parsing broken Solaris mbox files (See
     * http://www.jwz.org/doc/content-length.html for details).
     *
     * By default, this feature is disabled.
    The jwz link explains why it _should_ be disabled. An incorrect value
    can lead to misparsing the mbox, and hence possibly loss of messages. Its
    only known use is to avoid the need to quote (or otherwise mangle)
    "^From " lines, and with luck no e-mail client still uses it for that purpose.
