# 0 dkg@alice:~$ printmimestructure < 'Maildir/cur/1269025522.M338697P12023.monkey,S=6459,W=6963:2,Sa'

#  ├─╴text/plain inline 895 bytes
#  └─╴application/pgp-signature inline [signature.asc] 836 bytes

# If you want to number the parts, i suggest piping the output through
# something like "cat -n"
