Hey, that looks pretty cool.  I do have one question before I try it out: in
mime.py, Entity.__init()__, which splits up the data on the boundaries,
loads the entire file at once, if I am not mistaken ("msg = fp.read()").
What will happen if I am transferring a very large file, 50-100MB?

Thanks,
Jim
