How to handle very large MIME Messages with the email package?

[aurora00 at gmail.com]

Looking at the email package, it seems all the MIMExxx classes takes
string but not file object as the payload. I need to handle very large
MIME messages say up to 100M. And possibly many of them. Is email
package sufficient. If not is it possible to extend it?

Looking at a previous thread it seems the standard library is not
sufficient.
