Then you had:

Content-type: image/
   tiff
   ;
   boundary
   =
   "longboundarystr
   ingwrappedtonextli
   netolimitlinelength"

Now, the latter is also a legal RFC 2045 Content-Type line, but it is 
not semantically identical to the first. In the former, the boundary 
is:

longboundarystringwrappedtonextlinetolimitlinelength

In the latter, the boundary is:

longboundarystr    ingwrappedtonextli    netolimitlinelength

OK. Point taken. If that was indeed the boundary in some multipart (do
image/tiffs have boundaries?), then the boundary actually written in the
message would have to be

--longboundarystr    ingwrappedtonextli    netolimitlinelength

complete with exactly the correct amount of SPs.
