g_mime_stream_length() should return a gint64 but it returns ssize_t

damn.

Oh well, that API hopefully doesn't get used that often... or people can
implement their own substitute using seek()

Timing--that's the way folks feel about picking up Lehman stock at a 'bargain' price!

Balsa is most likely to see large files in the mbox backend, which doesn't use g_mime_stream_length(), so it's probably not an issue for us. In anticipation of an API change, would you suggest that, where we do use it, we handle the return value as a gint64?

Best,

Peter
