> 5.1.2.  Handling Nested Messages and Multiparts
>    The "message/rfc822" subtype defined in a subsequent section of this
>    document has no terminating condition other than running out of data.
>    Similarly, an improperly truncated "multipart" entity may not have
>    any terminating boundary marker, and can turn up operationally due to
>    mail system malfunctions.
>    It is essential that such entities be handled correctly when they are
>    themselves imbedded inside of another "multipart" structure.  MIME
>    implementations are therefore required to recognize outer level
>    boundary markers at ANY level of inner nesting.  It is not sufficient
>    to only check for the next expected marker or other terminating
>    condition.
