Just as a followup, a debian bug on this mentioned that uploading such a
mail via mutt or Thunderbird also fails (with mutt giving the best error
message). So this might really be some weirdness on the gmail side where
we cannot do anything but having a better error reporting. (and just
skipping the single message).
