            Reporter: Theodosios Andreou


h4. Description
I have a MIME header file generated by `ripmime` that should reflect an attachment within it's boundaries:

```

Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Apple-Mail=_571FC31E-29ED-47D3-99F6-3B28CF3047AD"
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 14.0 (3654.120.0.1.13))

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="Apple-Mail=_673A962B-4761-43C3-A4F0-CE3B065D412B"


--Apple-Mail=_673A962B-4761-43C3-A4F0-CE3B065D412B
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii

Content-Disposition: inline; filename=3529636.pdf
Content-Type: application/pdf; x-mac-hide-extension=yes; x-unix-mode=0644; name="3529636.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

-Apple-Mail=_673A962B-4761-43C3-A4F0-CE3B065D412B
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii


--Apple-Mail=_571FC31E-29ED-47D3-99F6-3B28CF3047AD--

```

 

*Expected behavio**r*: The parser should be able to complete and return back ` 3529636.pdf` when we call `getAttachmentList()` on it.

 

*Workaround*: I haven't found one. It seems that the Mime header is corrupted but `ripmime` reports it as valid. 

 

*Optimal solution*: Be able to process such Mime headers.
