Hi Kai

Thanks to you and others for helping me out. I believe, currently we should
stick to this approach. In the coming times, we can then change it to MIME
API. That won't take long because the only change needed is in the
`form_data_post` function. Other things will remain as it is. Or better, we
can change this before the final evaluation. I'll be having some buffer
period then for wrapping and cleanup, so we can do this as well.
