Again, I'm trying to help. :)

When I'm confronted with things like this (documentation these days tends to be too much noise, not enough signal), I craft a Google query such as for this case:

"mime boundary" format

I then look for the StackExchange article within the first few results and read the highest-rated answer, which in this case is:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4656287/what-rules-apply-to-mime-boundary

The answer is clear, concise, and 22 people upvoted it as being a helpful answer.

StackOverflow makes me look like an expert[1] because I found and digested it within a few minutes, and moved on with my work.
