a.) How many times was this message handled by a mail server before it reached me?
b.) What is the last line of the header of this email (i.e., the line just before the body)?
c.) How many parts are there to the body of this email message?
d.) What type of content appears in each part of the message? (Please specify both the major and minor MIME type.)
Could I please have help with this problem? I've looked at it numerous times, but I honestly seem to be having trouble with all four parts. The way the message is set up seems to be confusing me. I would appreciate any help that I could get. Thank you!
