in testing the marker line format, i created a bunch of files of
varying sizes in order to attach them. by chance, i used dd from
/dev/zero to create the files, so they all consist of null characters.
it turns out that when i attach such a file, something goes wrong, and
i end up with the mime header for the attachment, but an empty part, and
mhlist complains about "bogus multipart content"
if i attach many such files, i get mangled content, looking a log like
buffer overflow.
if i change all the nulls to ^C chars ("sed -i 's/\x00/\x03/g' testfile*")
then everything seems to work correctly.
i haven't dug further. and this is on master. i also haven't tested
the 1.6 branch.
