Sorry it's morning, it does complain..

Anyways the facts remain, MBL can send incomplete files because the http
server does not report Content-Length (they don't seem to serve static files
which is just stupid).  Also their signature backend could have any number
of problems if they can't even get that right.  I've been personally
filtering out any signatures less than 7 chars for a long time.
