+##Processing MIME multipart media types |
+ |
+The class `MimeMultipartTransformer` is used to process a `Stream` of |
+bytes encoded using a MIME multipart media types encoding. The |
+transformer provides a new `Stream` of `MimeMultipart` objects each of |
+which have the headers and the content of each part. The content of a |
+part is provided as a strream of bytes. |
