    // In this example, we have a MIME file containing 8bit (non-encoded) binary data,

    // the top-level header.  The file we have here begins with the first
    // boundary string.

    // The structure the MIME to be loaded is:

    // multipart/mixed (inferred because it is headless)
    //     application/xop+xml
    //     image/jpeg
    //     image/gif
    //     image/gif
