Interesting.

This is part of the header from reading a message with mutt:

        MIME-Version: 1.0
        Content-Type: MULTIPART/mixed; BOUNDARY=Mumble_of_Moles_640_000
        X-Mailer: dtmail 1.2.1 CDE Version 1.2.1 SunOS 5.6 sun4u sparc 
        Content-Length: 1254888

and

        [-- Attachment #1 --]
        [-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 0.4K --]
        Content-Type: TEXT/plain; charset=us-ascii
        Content-MD5: AdQl4piTYJGG2N/z52bkbr==

        [-- Attachment #2: foo.sdc --]
        [-- Type: application/octet-stream, Encoding: base64, Size: 1.2M --]
        Content-Type: APPLICATION/octet-stream; name="foo.sdc"
        Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
        Content-Description: foo.sdc
        Content-MD5: 5bbGgY/UEJ8eM34Sej4J0h==

from evolution:

        MIME-Version: 1.0
        X-Mailer: dtmail 1.2.1 CDE Version 1.2.1 SunOS 5.6 sun4u sparc 
        Content-Length: 1254888
        Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=-SgOibSrnQkkuGnoDokeU"

and

        --=-SgOibSrnQkkuGnoDokeU
        Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

        --=-SgOibSrnQkkuGnoDokeU
        Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=foo.sdc

exchange looks like

        Single click
        emitting cursor changed signal, for uid 1480
        selecting uid 1480 (direct)
        Release
        selecting uid 1480 (delayed)
        sending : A00055 UID FETCH 1480 BODY.PEEK[0]
        received: * 54 FETCH (BODY[0] {1097}
        received:  UID 1480)
        received: A00055 OK UID FETCH completed
        sending : A00056 UID FETCH 1480 BODY.PEEK[1.MIME]
        received: * 54 FETCH (BODY[1.MIME] NIL UID 1480)
        received: A00056 OK UID FETCH completed
        sending : A00057 UID FETCH 1480 BODY.PEEK[2.MIME]
        received: * 54 FETCH (BODY[2.MIME] NIL UID 1480)
        received: A00057 OK UID FETCH completed
        redisplaying
        sending : A00058 UID FETCH 1480 BODY.PEEK[1]
        received: * 54 FETCH (BODY[1] {440}
        received:  UID 1480)
        received: A00058 OK UID FETCH completed
        sending : A00059 UID FETCH 1480 BODY.PEEK[2]
        received: * 54 FETCH (BODY[2] {1274700}
        received:  UID 1480)
