Hi,

thanks for the patch. After some investigation, it seems that you are
right. What I missed in your commit message is the reason for such
behaviour i.e. GMimeStream fseek()s in its write method to the position
recorded when the stream was created, so that in case there is somebody
else writing to the stream, the writes may overlap.
