In mailnews/compose/src/nsMsgSendPart.cpp there is the code segment:

      NS_ASSERTION(MIME_BUFFER_SIZE > 1000, "buffer size out of range");

My compiler grumbles because this is always true and therefore the test
is not needed (MIME_BUFFER_SIZE is a #define'd to 4096). Intead of a run
time check, wouldn't a compile time check be more appropriate? Something
like:

#if MIME_BUFFER_SIZE < 1000
#error MIME_BUFFER_SIZE must be at least 1000
#endif

Colin.
