The code to check should be in <mailinfo.c>. As its comment says, the code was not designed to be a full MIME parser--we just have a code that (empirically) works in practice on messages produced when a patch is attached to a message via popular MUAs, not written from the MIME RFC spec. Thanks for your interest in making the world a better place ;-) Very much appreciated.
