You misrepresented the structure of the message; there is a layer of
encapsulation that you didn't mention. That's the cause of your
confusion.
The structure of that message is:
MESSAGE/RFC822 (message id [EMAIL PROTECTED])
1 MESSAGE/RFC822 (message id [EMAIL PROTECTED])
1.1 MESSAGE/RFC822 (message id [EMAIL PROTECTED])
MULTIPART/MIXED
1.1.1 TEXT/PLAIN;NAME=test1.txt
1.1.2 TEXT/PLAIN;NAME=test2.txt
That is, there is a multipart message, encapsulated within a single part
message, encapsulated within a single part message.
[] entire [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[HEADER] header of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[TEXT] text of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (single part)
[1] entire [EMAIL PROTECTED], same as [TEXT]
[1.HEADER] header of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[1.TEXT] text of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (single part)
[1.1] entire [EMAIL PROTECTED], same as [1.TEXT]
[1.1.HEADER] header of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[1.1.TEXT] text of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (multipart)
[1.1.1] test1.txt part of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[1.1.2] test2.txt part of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now, let's suppose that the first part of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
was itself a (nested) multipart with two parts, that is:
MESSAGE/RFC822 (message id [EMAIL PROTECTED])
1 MESSAGE/RFC822 (message id [EMAIL PROTECTED])
1.1 MESSAGE/RFC822 (message id [EMAIL PROTECTED])
MULTIPART/MIXED
MULTIPART/MIXED
1.1.1.1 TEXT/PLAIN;NAME=testa.txt
1.1.1.2 TEXT/PLAIN;NAME=testb.txt
1.1.2 TEXT/PLAIN;NAME=test2.txt
We would then have:
[] entire [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[HEADER] header of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[TEXT] text of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (single part)
[1] entire [EMAIL PROTECTED], same as [TEXT]
[1.HEADER] header of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[1.TEXT] text of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (single part)
[1.1] entire [EMAIL PROTECTED], same as [1.TEXT]
[1.1.HEADER] header of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[1.1.TEXT] text of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (multipart)
[1.1.1] first part of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (multipart)
[1.1.1.1] testa.txt part of nested multipart
[1.1.1.2] testb.txt part of nested multipart
[1.1.2] test2.txt part of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
