Yes, there do seem to be some problems.

At present each message is handled as a single sample which is added
as a child of the parent sample result.

If the message is a multipart message, then this causes problems,
because each part of a multi-part message has its own Content-Type,
but of course a single result can only have one content-type.

At present the result content-type is taken from the multipart
container, which does not have an encoding, and anyway the content
itself is assumed to be in the default encoding. Not ideal.

Maybe multipart messages should be handled as one child per part?
These would then become grandchildren of the original sample.
If there is only a single part it could be stored as at present, but
with the content-type taken from the part rather than the multi-part
container.

Does that sound reasonable?
Any better ideas?
