Done. Feel free to test it...
Wow, while you are in high gear and still in a good mood, can I
sneak in one more nitpick?

I posted a test attachment to gmane.test, and noticed that there
is one spurious byte added at the end of the attachment:

void
Encoder :: disable_progress_update ()
{
   if (_gsourceid>  -1) {
     g_source_remove (_gsourceid);
     _gsourceid = -1;
   }
}

ÿ<---- this character is not part of my original pan post

Last three lines of the post after piping through hexdump -C:

00002ff0  34 4a 4a a7 34 a7 34 0a  3d 79 65 6e 64 20 73 69  |4JJ.4.4.=yend si|
00003000  7a 65 3d 39 31 34 39 20  63 72 63 33 32 3d 61 34  |ze=9149 crc32=a4|
00003010  32 35 38 33 66 34 0a 0a  ff 0a 0a 0a              |2583f4......|
                                    ^^<--- the 'ff' is spurious

AFAICT that 'ff' is interpreted by my news and email clients as the
UTF-8 character ÿ (UTF+00FF LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS: French).

Twenty years ago I would have spent all day finding the bug and submitting
a patch.<sigh>

I noticed that, too. That's pretty odd. I'll go investigate ;)
