A boiled down example from Anthony's MIME torture tests. This one has a

separating boundary for an outer part inside an inner part.

+Unlike the test test_nested-multiples-with-internal-boundary, this
+piece of text not only contains the outer boundary tags 
+------- =_aaaaaaaaaa1 
+and 
+------- =_aaaaaaaaaa0 
+but puts them at the start of a line! And, to be even nastier, it
+even includes a couple of end tags, such as this one:
+
+------- =_aaaaaaaaaa1--
+
+and this one, which is from a multipart we haven't even seen yet!
+
+------- =_aaaaaaaaaa4--
+
+This will, I'm sure, cause much breakage of MIME parsers. But, as 
+far as I can tell, it's perfectly legal. I have not yet ever seen
+a case of this in the wild, but I've seen *similar* things.
