    //  indexes are zero-based.

    //  A report returned by GetReport is the body of a report part -- for a bounce (DSN),
    //  that is the machine-readable message/delivery-status part.  It looks similar to:
    //  
    //    Reporting-MTA: dns; mail.example.com
    //    Received-From-MTA: dns; sender.example.com
    //    Arrival-Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 20:15:30 +0000
    //  
    //    Final-Recipient: rfc822; nonexistent@example.com
    //    Action: failed
    //    Status: 5.1.1
    //    Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 5.1.1 <nonexistent@example.com> User unknown

    //  Note: The path "qa_data/..." is a relative local filesystem path,
    //  relative to the current working directory of the running application.
