That item is 'screwed up' - perhaps starting before it got to SC, but
surely now, because SC has 'compounded' its screwup.

The parts consist of header with [headercontent & boundary information
+ bodycontent & boundary marker in the header + SC Xlines] then the body
which is now without its body content or boundary marker which were
squished up into the header as described and then further screwed up by
SC adding SC Xlines to/below the squished condition.

It should be header with header content & boundary information followed
by the SC Xlines then a space to the body, then the boundary marker and
body content information.

If I dissassemble the screwup and put all of its parts back together
again in the appropriate order, you get this:
