On the other hand, the current implementation may not RFC compliant as
the three modes (netascii, octet, mail) are not supported (but the RFC
predates the usage of MAY/SHOULD/MUST, so it's unclear for me).
I have tried to add proper support, but this is more invasive as we
cannot just seek in the file to get each block. However, this is
something that I can do if compliance is important for QEMU.

I can do that if needed.
