No, the `- --NextPart' is showing up because forw(1) will put a
`- ' at the beginning of any line that begins with a dash (when
not using MIME forwarding).  This makes it easy for something
like burst(1) to break apart messages.  Other applications, such
as GnuPG, do the same thing.

Yup, everything after the message headers and before the first
boundary is the preamble and should be ignored by MIME capable
readers.
