HEAD now uses g_mime_parser_set_respect_content_length() to  
handle mboxes that were created using the libmutt backend (i.e.,  
Balsa-2.0.x).  That method was added to GMime cvs on 2004-02-06.   
The next GMime version seems to have been 2.1.2, on 2004-02-07.   
I'm not sure how those cvs versions relate to releases, but if  
your GMime installation is too old, you'll get a corresponding  
build error.
