multipart/mixed
    text/plain
    text/plain
    multipart/digest
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822
        message/rfc822

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- For this example, we'll load the email from a .eml.
-- The email could alternatively be loaded as a result of downloading from an IMAP or POP3 server..

if not success then
    print(email.last_error_text)
