Perhaps you can enlighten me on the correct action to take? For instance all the messages are of the type below. I find one boundary but never a second one, and then the next message starts. Is there supposed to be a second boundary? Is there some other way to deal with these messages? Or fix them? I tried using the ignore_types option, and the messages were parsed but empty. Yet some of them have useful information that I would like to preserve in the archive.
