Yes, of course, but that does not change the fact that in the absence of
this library the file loader fails!

OK, so far I've come up with the following solution:

    http://mailutils.org/wiki/File_Safety_Checks

It is implemented in the yesterday's commit (dfed0be6).  Any comments

Pre-alphas can be found here:
{http|ftp}://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/alpha/mailutils/

Look for tarballs marked `-2.99.91'.  However, the latest is from June,
