That's a pity, but I would prefer a bullet-proof implementation with a new  
A(P|B)I!

Yes, I noticed that the double quotes problem (i.e. gmime removing it from  
Content-Type headers) is apparently gone? However, when comparing the data  
fed by 2.0.17 and by 2.1/gmime into GnuPG, I see e.g.

<snip-2.0.17>
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7"
Content-Disposition: inline


--fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7
</snip-2.0.17>

and

<snip-2.1-gmime>
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7"
Content-Disposition: inline

--fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7
</snip-2.1-gmime>

(notice a missing empty line) and later on in the same message

<snip-2.0.17>
Content-Type: application/x-gzip
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="balsa-2.0-libmutt-patch.2004- 
07-02.diff.gz"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
</snip-2.0.17>

(plz ignore the break in the Disposition line above) which is still folded  
with gmime:

<snip-2.1-gmime>
--fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7
Content-Type: application/x-gzip
Content-Disposition: attachment;
       filename="balsa-2.0-libmutt-patch.2004-07-02.diff.gz"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
<snip-2.1-gmime>

Maybe it's worth noting that in Balsa's "show message source" window, this  
header is *not* folded.

IMHO, the new concept is clearly an improvement and makes understanding  
the code much easier. I already have a patch eliminating everything which  
is marked as depracted from the GnuPG/gpgme related stuff. I mentioned  
this function only because it is used quite frequently in balsa...

Cheers, Albrecht.
