This is the counterpart to the enhancement bug which is concerned with the combining and decoding of large binary files posted as multiple emails. As well as being able to recombine files, Mozilla should be able to chop them up for easier transmission through Usenet.

Changed summary and Marking NEW.
This would be a really nice feature especially for those who have limits on the mail server and especially low bandwidth. We would then be able to chop our email based on an optional preference like 'chop email if size greater than number of bytes'. I think Outlook has this feature.

Out of scope nowadays, anything chopping up into multiple messages is not a good idea to implement in Thunderbird nowadays.

Chopped up binaries on the Usenet are still a thing, but there is much more specialized FOSS software now.
