Take a look at the source for msg_16.txt. The last part is a message/rfc822,

New submission from R. David Murray:
A 'message' part is not, in fact, a multipart in RFC terms. (Only 'multipart'
messages are multiparts.) The email package models 'message' parts by making
them single-element multipart messages, with the single element being a
