The MIME headers besides Content-Length-
MIME-Version, Content-Id, etc provide information not available in the MIME
part’s body. One can infer the Content-Length from the size of the MIME
Part’s body.
The Content-Length is a function of the
Content-Transfer-Encoding that Lines 130 and 131 mention as out of scope. Also,
this header is primarily meant for efficiency purposes while receiving data
(setting up buffer sizes et al).

Canonicalizing Content-Length MIME header
Maneesh
if the header is signed then it needs to
be in a single format.
Which information is redundant?
Perhaps I am misunderstanding your
comment.

Canonicalizing Content-Length MIME header
Frederick, All
What is the value in canonicalizing the Content-Length MIME
header? This information is redundant.
