// In this example, we have a MIME file containing 8bit (non-encoded) binary data,
// and it is what I call "headless".  MIME is headless when it omits
// 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
//
