+\r
+It's true that even "non-MIME" messages have two MIME parts. Are you\r
+thinking something like\r
+\r
+Note that even a message with no MIME structure or a single body part\r
+still has two MIME parts: part 0 is the whole message (headers and\r
+body) and part 1 is just the body.\r
+\r
+?\r
+\r
+I wonder if this would be better in the documentation for --part.\r
