Heh... I was interested, until I got to the limitation part...

For many emails/attachments this wouldn't be a problem, but for some it
would, so it wouldn't work for us...

Also, since ianap, I would much prefer something this fundamental to be
a fully supported feature of dovecot, as opposed to something I have to
worry about breaking somehow with every update of dovecot...
