A patch needs some positive reviews to be accepted.  Replying to
comments with "make a better patch" may not be the best strategy for
getting your patches accepted.

I do not have a patch.  As for a suggestion, I would start with some
googling.  If you did that, you would probably find the gmime function
kindly pointed out by Jani.
