Just an idea, but how about using the .qmail-whatever file to pipe it to a
shell script. The script could:
1. Save the message to a file.
2. Extract the header (using 822header or like).
3. Extract the body and generate appropriate-sized chunks (with 'split'
or like).
4. Reinject the smaller pieces, each with a (modified) copy of the header
saved in (1) above. You could also save the pieces directly with
'safecat' or procmail or whatever.
