Re: [Pan-devel] message/partial support (Update)

[Jeffrey Stedfast]

I've basically "finished" this, although I may have to change the
gmime-message-partial.c API a bit. Instead of:

GMimeMessage *
g_mime_message_partial_reconstruct_message (GMimeMessagePartial **,
size_t num);

I may have to pass in GMimeMessages, since rfc1521 says that I must
merge the raw headers in the message/partial part with the headers of
the original message (discluding Content-* headers and maybe a few
others, I forget).


now for the Bad News (tm):

GMimeStreamCat seems to be buggy and I'm having trouble finding the
problem. I think it has to do with substreaming a Cat stream. When I
write out the reconstructed message, it seems to write the wrong section
of the stream for at least one of the parts?
If I write the Cat stream to a mem stream before parsing it into a
GMimeMessage, then writing out the resultant message is fine.


I'll work on this some more tomorrow...
