But encoded data made for only computing a boundary can be used
for sending, too.  So, the mml functions for sending may be
rearranged so as to encode all parts of a message first, compute
a boundary, and combine them.  It seems not easy to achieve, though.

I'm not quite sure of it.  I was only worried a user who has no
caching mechanism will be bothered by being prompted for
a passphrase twice a part if performing signing or encrypting
for computing a boundary.
