        Hi,
the 22MB may succeed too, but after significantly longer than the 5MB
message. With WebKit2, the evolution UI will be responsive, only the
message preview will be empty.

As far as I can tell [1], the "inline" disposition is also fine and
considered. Could you grep for Content-Type instead, please?

I'll know more with the Content-Type grep result. The signing doesn't
encode the message body usually, it does the encrypt. Though it was
only my wild guess, where I believe you are right and your message is
neither signed, nor encrypted.
