webMethods Knowlegebase : Email parsing exception: "com.wm.app.b2b.server.ServiceException: Missing start boundary" (1777312)

Problem

User has the flow service "pub.mime.createMimeData" implemented to get the MIME data from an incoming email received from an external partner.

The contents of this email are read from the Email file using "wm.deployer.Util:readFileFromPath" service and then streamed using the service "pub.io:stringToStream" before feeding it to "pub.mime.createMimeData" service as an input.

This arrangement is causing the following Exception in Designer:-
