I use it for 5 days now to handle all my email traffic. Besides Google
mail, which supports compression, there's corporate server, which
doesn't support it, so gnutls-cli processes only text there.

It shouldn't stop reading at any delimiter, like null, CR or LF
characters. Unless I miss something, I don't see the problem with
fixed size buffer, because data sent over network can be split by
network devices anyway.
