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

# This example will save each of the non-multipart parts.
# It will create three files -- a .txt, .html, and .jpg.

# Save the body of the text/plain part.
