Hi Tom I am afraid what we have is the docs you can find, but they are more up to date on github https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-mail/src/main/docs/mime-multipart-dataformat.adoc
If you can build an unit test - reproducer sample project you are welcome to log a JIRA and attach - link to that. Also if possible try to test with latest released version. We should try to get this fixed so it works via a plain curl command.
