Summary: Let ::mime::parsepart accept a header only with multipart

Initial Comment:
When calling ::mime::initialize with a header only and the 

header includes a multipart description, ::mime::parsepart 

will return an end-of-file error.

This patch fixes that by counting the lines after the 

header. If no lines are found, no error is thrown.



This is useful when you want to parse a mail header only 

with help of the mime package.



Something to think of:

This only works if the last newline character returned 

from ::pop3::top is removed prior to calling ::mime::

initialize. I thought of patching pop3 too, but thought 

that it's correct that the last line returned also contains 

a newline character.

To help the user so he not needs to think of removing the 

last newline character, maybe ::mime::parsepart should 

count non-blank lines after the header, instead of just 

counting lines.
