  the very first thing is to *not* use Reply to an existing mail and 
changing the subject as it breaks mail threading for every persons with a
decent mail client !
  There is no configure flag for large file support, this looks very specific
to your system and probably not worth going though the pain, I suggest
you simply keep a local patch to libxml.h setting NO_LARGEFILE_SOURCE or
patch configure(.in) to this intent. However if you want to make a configure.in
patch to add a --without-large-files option, I will take it.
