Basic C# Mime Decoding

Question

Is there a clean way of handling multi-part MIME data in C#.

After a call to a closed application (I have no access to change it) I get a MIME reponse like the one below. Does C# provide the ability to parse this via System.Net.Mime or System.Net.Mail?

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; 
    boundary="----=_Part_42_31322961.1286389502467"

------=_Part_42_31322961.1286389502467
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-ID: <xmlContextInfo>
<UnneededXML> <Stuff> </Stuff> </UnneededXML>


------=_Part_42_31322961.1286389502467
Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <myImage>

All I really need from the response is the "myImage" portion (which is much longer than what is shown above)

Answer 1

You can use OpenPOP library which includes mime parser.

Answer 2

MimeKit works well I had been previously using code from Codeplex POP3 MIME Support but it has failed to parse some mimeContent and had to look for alternatives.
