Yes there is. There should be one before each "alternative" (as
multipart/alternative defines it is a set of alternatives coming) and then
there should be a final one prefixed with --.

If they all look like this, you should probably just cut off the header that
says Content-Type: multipart/alternative; as the rest of the mail doesn't
seem to be in that format.

The multiparts are tricky when malformed, as they're allowed to contain
pretty much everything, the start of the next mail is just considered a piece
of the part...
Please keep the mails regarding hypermail directed to the mailing list.
