I've never tried it with an html message. A message with a total size that
is larger than the split size will be split. Binaries (such as pictures)
will be encoded in a 7-bit transport form (either UU-Encode or Base64, the
latter being the MIME default IIRC). Due to the encoding in 7bit form, the
message size will increase by about 1/3 of the original size.

The individual parts can be glued together in a text editor (and thats the
part that will be done automatically by TB). As I said, I've never tried
with an html message, but with normal messages + binary attachments the
function is still a waste because TB does not restore the original message,
but will show you the two MIME parts (the text + the attachment) on
screen... you'd have to export the message and extract the Base64 encoded
attachment manually. I can not find a function in TB to do that
automatically. I don't see how this would work any better when the message
format is HTML.

I've disabled message splitting because of the above problems, and because
the majority of "other" mail clients and mail users can't handle out there
can't handle a splitted message. :-)
