What you'll want to do is subclass GMimeStream and write a custom stream 
that reads the next block of data from the network when the parser calls 
g_mime_stream_read() (which means you'll want to override the read method).

You don't need to implement a write method unless you intend on writing 
to it, but you'll need to implement seek (just make it return -1 to say 
it doesn't support seeking).

Hope that helps,

Jeff
