Hi Jeff:

Not sure if you have a wishlish for 3.0 and if it's still open...

There are several function where it would be *really* helpful if they could 
pass extra error information, in particular the stream-related ones where fs 
errors can occur.  Example: for g_mime_stream_file_new_for_path(), it would be 
nice if it was

GMimeStream *
g_mime_stream_file_new_for_path (const char *path,
                                 const char *mode,
                                 GError **error);       // <------ !!

like most other GLib functions (I today spent some time before I noticed the 
file I wanted to read with this function had bad permissions - the NULL 
response was not /that/ helpful!).

Yes, this would change the API.  But the API changes anyway I guess, and there 
is a trivial upgrade path (just use NULL as error location) for existing 
applications.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Albrecht.
