I seem to have forgotten to tag my patch with the corresponding bug
report?  Annoying.  Anyway, the problem my patch fixed was dealing with
text files included in Message with mml tags -- they would (under some
circumstances; there was a test case in the original bug report) be
corrupted.

But my fix was obviously a mistake, since it resulted in pretty much all
multibyte buffers being mishandled when forwarding, so the original
problem will have to be fixed in a different way.

But I don't think this should be a release blocker.
