* camel-multipart.c (write_to_stream): Don't g_return_val_if_fail
here if the boundary is an empty string. See bug #23676 for
details. The way I see it, we have 2 options: 1) leave this fix
the way it is, thus allowing multipart boundaries to be
empty-strings; or 2) make camel_multipart_get_boundary() change
the boundary to something legal if the boundary is an
empty-string. Since the parser should be able to handle an
empty-string boundary *and* more importantly because we want to
keep the same boundaries as the original raw message so as to be
able to verify multipart/signed parts, I vote for solution #1.

CAMEL
A generic Messaging Library
----
Introduction:
-------------
Camel is a generic messaging library. It supports the standard
messaging system for receiving and sending messages. It is the
messaging backend for Evolution.
The name "camel" stands for ... nothing. Open area of development there.
You know, that "bazaar" thing. Maybe could we organize a big contest on
gnome-list to find the best explanation :)
Camel draws heavily from JavaMail and the IMAP4rev1 RFC. People
wanting to hack on a provider should read the JavaMail API
specification, but CMC and MAPI are of interest too.
Organization:
-------------
The library is roughly a set of abstract classes, some kind of generic
"interfaces" (IDL interfaces, not Java interfaces).
Particular implementations are called providers.
Here are the basic objects:
* CamelService : An abstract class representing an access to a server.
Handles the connection and authentication to any server.
* CamelStore (CamelService): A hierarchy of folders on a server.
* CamelFolder : An object containing messages. A folder is always
associated with a store.
* CamelMessage : An object contained in folders. Is defined by a set
of attributes and a content. (Attributes include: the date it was
received, the sender address, .....)
* CamelTransport (CamelService): A way to send messages.
