Dear Maintainer,

Mairix has, at its core, a name/value pair scheme which assumes names and
values cannot exceed 256 bytes in length.

There was a semi-active bug which ended up with a 4k limit instead of a 256
byte limit, but instead I have submitted a PR which sizes the buffers
dynamically with input at https://github.com/rc0/mairix/pull/17

It makes sense to apply this to the mairix package and then, ideally, to submit
for a backport to jessie as currently in jessie I am unable to index my mail
archive without the above patch.

D.
