Access a Part in a Multipart MIME Entity

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.PartAt method, which provides live access to the direct child at a zero-based index. The first argument is the index and the second is a Mime object that will reference the child. Modifying it modifies the child stored in the parent tree.

Note: The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

Background: This is how you reach into a multipart message to inspect or edit an individual part — read a part's Content-Type, extract an attachment's body, or change a part in place. The key point is that the returned Mime is a live reference, not a copy, so edits to it flow back into the parent tree. Loop from 0 to NumParts - 1 to visit every direct child.
