You're welcome.  Hope it works out.

I just noticed that there's a potential additional bug with
mimepart.txt and very new MIME messages -- there has been an extension
to the MIME boundary-string specification to allow very long boundary
strings to be split across multiple lines in the message header, which
the MIME decoder is then supposed to paste back together before
examining the message body.  I've only seen this once in actual email,
and many common email readers fail to deal with it, so you probably
won't encounter it any time soon, but be advised.
