I would like to MIME encode a message from a large file without first

disk (actually I am using encode_7or8bit, so the encoding should be
null). Is there a way to construct the flattened MIME message such
that data is streamed from the file as needed instead of being
resident in memory? Do I have to subclass the MIMEBase class myself?
I don't know what you are after here - but I *do* know that anything
above 10MB or so is most probably not transferable using mail, as MTAs
impose limits on message-sizes. Or in other words: usually, whatever you
want to encode should fit in memory as the network is limiting you.
MIME encoding is used for other things than emails.
