    ; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    ; The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
    ; 
    ; multipart/alternative
    ;     text/plain
    ;     multipart/related
    ;         text/html
    ;         image/jpeg
    ; 

    ; Getting the content of a top-level MIME header is easy.
    ; MIME header fields are case insensitive.
    Debug "Subject = " + CkMime::ckGetHeaderField(mime,"subject")
    Debug "MIME-Version = " + CkMime::ckGetHeaderField(mime,"mime-version")

    ; To get a MIME header in a sub-part, first navigate to it..
    mpRelated.i = CkMime::ckGetPart(mime,1)
    pJpg.i = CkMime::ckGetPart(mpRelated,1)

    Debug "JPG Content-ID = " + CkMime::ckGetHeaderField(pJpg,"content-id")
    Debug "JPG Content-Type = " + CkMime::ckGetHeaderField(pJpg,"content-type")

    CkMime::ckDispose(pJpg)
