That sounds like Mausnetz? However, you could use metasend --- I've found
metasend within the metamail package of my SuSE (5.1) distribution.
Metasend has a default minimum size for parts of afair 20K, but you can
change that in metamail-2.7-19/metamail/splitmail.c at line 30:
#define MINCHUNKSIZE 14000 /* Better be enough to hold the headers, or we die! */
Recompile and reinstall, hmm ... the ,/usr/bin/splitmail' program; the
metasend program itself can be left untouched. 14K should be save in most
cases where mail headers are added by some MTAs, increasing size. At least
about 12.5K should go through anyway, but the comment warns you :_)
I didn't verify if splitmail runs relyable with the reduced limit because
shortly after I applied the modification using it became obsolete!

It probably depends on the MUA you're using. Some (like pine) allow piping
the mails through filters, and you could set up metasend as such a filter or
use a wrapper to decide wheather a mail must be filtered or not. As an
example for building a wrapper the mkpgp (2.1) script could give you some
useful hints. (You should be able to find it by searching for keywords ,PGP'
and ,pine'; or just ask me to mail it to you.)

Metasend uses MIME (what you might not want), split does not.

Look at man: metasend, splitmail, split.

Sorry, I can't help with that --- to qmail, I'm a newbie who installed it
just yesterday.
