This is a sane approach and it will work, promised. The possibility that
we might end up passing 10 MB buffers around scares me though. Some mail
admin will chop off our head for that.

As mentioned before, I wonder if we can pass buffer slices down and use
the slave's yywrap() to call back into the master for a "decode the next
slice and send it down" method.
