First off, thanks a lot for the drilldown.

I don't see any solution right off. We could fix
dbmail_message_set_header to avoid hitting the critical limit
(butt-ugly, I know). We could try stuff like dropping identical headers,
or perhaps even moving a couple of headers to the body of the email.
All that only when detecting a gmime-version < 2.1.15. Where's the fun
in that.

To be quite honest though, my initial reaction tends to be: sod sarge!
Hail etch! Not the best sales pitch, I guess :-)
