And there we have the problem. If a message consists of multiple body parts,
then the Content-Type should be multipart/* and in this case most likely
multipart/alternative. The Content-Type text/plain is clearly wrong.

There should be only one end marker. It marks the end of the last body part.
The end of the first body part and, at the same time, the start of the second
body part is marked by the second boundary string.
