 I'm looking for advice from anyone who understands hypermail's mime-handling code about what should be done with this kind of message.  Hypermail sets variable isinheader to 1 after detecting the end of the regular headers. It expects to find a mime boundary next, and because there isn't any boundary until the end of the message, it decides the message has no body.
 Discarding the entire body doesn't seem right, but I don't see an easy way to handle it cleanly. Maybe I can find a set isinheader to something other than 0 or 1 when looking for a mime boundary, and then keep any nonboundary lines found while looking for the boundary to be used if no valid mime section is found. But it looks like with this approach it would be hard to use any of the code that handles Content-Type. Does anyone else have a better idea?
