That's perfect for me!

The one delivered with my BDS2006, the info says: 9.0.50.
I have attached the code here, maybe you want to check
yourself. With my BDS/Indy I get the mentioned exception,
so I succeeded only when the part with text1 is commented.
With IdMessage1->Encoding = meMIME it's working(but text1 ignored).

------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
		IdMessage1->Clear();
		IdMessage1->Encoding = meUU;
		TIdText *text1 = new TIdText(IdMessage1->MessageParts, NULL);
		text1->Body->Add("Some text 2. ...");
	   	text1->ContentType = "text/plain";

		IdMessage1->Body->Add("Some text...");
	   	IdMessage1->ContentType = "text/plain";


		TIdAttachment *attach1 = new TIdAttachment(IdMessage1->MessageParts,
"c:\\attachment.zip");
	 	attach1->ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

		TIdAttachment *attach2 = new TIdAttachment(IdMessage1->MessageParts,
"c:\\attachment.txt");
	 	attach2->ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

		TIdAttachment *attach3 = new TIdAttachment(IdMessage1->MessageParts,
"c:\\attachment.pdf");
	  	attach3->ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

		IdMessage1->From->Name = "SENDERNAME";
		IdMessage1->From->Address = "SENDERADDRESS";
		IdMessage1->Subject = "Test BDS2006/Indy9.0.50 22.9.06"  ;
        	IdMessage1->Recipients->EMailAddresses = Edit2->Text;
		IdMessage1->ContentType = "multipart/mixed";
		IdMessage1->SaveToFile("c:\\msg.txt",false)  ;
		IdSMTP1->Host = Edit7->Text;
		if( CheckBox1->Checked )
		{
			IdSMTP1->Username = Edit4->Text;
			IdSMTP1->Password = Edit5->Text;
			IdSMTP1->AuthenticationType = atLogin;
		}
		else
			IdSMTP1->AuthenticationType = atNone;

		IdSMTP1->Connect(4000);
		try
		{
			IdSMTP1->Send(IdMessage1);
		}
		__finally {
			IdSMTP1->Disconnect();
		}

		IdMessage1->Clear();
}

No, the text is not generated by Indy, take a look at the
output done with IdMessage1->SaveToFile().
There is no reference for: text1->Body->Add("Some 
text 2. ..."); in the file.

This output is visible:	IdMessage1->Body->Add("Some text...");
