That is not enough, because it is the headers at the beginning of each
MIME part (which themselves are delineated by the boundary described
above) which are in question.  Unfortunately once you've received the msg
with PM, there is no way to see what it originally looked like.

I face a strange problem with a collaborator who attaches text files to
his messages via Mozilla Thunderbird (Windows version) : Powermail puts
the content of the text file in the body of the message, I don't have any
attached file.

I suspect that Mozilla must not identify the MIME part as a Content-
disposition of attachment, so that PM does not have reason to believe
it is an attachment vs. an inline part.

It's a sender-problem (he should check the general preferences for
sending mails of his Mozilla).

First aid: Tell him to make a zip-file from the text-file and to send
this to you. I guess (I hope), his Mozilla will handle this in a
different way.
