You have a third option, which I would try if you can't get the
message producer to do it correctly:  slap some RFC822 headers on the
beginning, and then ignore them in the parsed message object.  After
all, if the rest of the data is correctly formatted, use the existing
tested MIME parser.  Prepending some "bogus" RFC822 headers would be
rather trivial to do.
