Displaying the MIME Version

The MIME version of a message contains all the information about an inbound or outbound message. The MIME version can be very helpful when analyzing errors to find out how a message leaves the SAP system or is received by an SAP system. The MIME version should, for example, be used as the basis for analyzing errors with formatting or code page problems.
