One note: when generating the flat text for a \mimetype{multipart}
message that has no \var{epilogue} (using the standard
\class{Generator} class), no newline is added after the closing
boundary line. If the message object has an \var{epilogue} and its
value does not start with a newline, a newline is printed after the
closing boundary. This seems a little clumsy, but it makes the most
practical sense. The upshot is that if you want to ensure that a
newline get printed after your closing \mimetype{multipart} boundary,
set the \var{epilogue} to the empty string.
