Subject: [Simple]Can Message/CPIM be without MIME message-body

RFC 3862 describes CPIM message format as following:
[snip1]
   A complete message looks something like this:

      m: Content-type: Message/CPIM
      s:
      h: (message-metadata-headers)
      s:
      e: (encapsulated MIME message-body)
[/snip1]

[snip2]
2.4.  Message Content

   The final section of a Message/CPIM is the MIME-encapsulated message
   content, which follows standard MIME formatting rules [1][2].

   The MIME content headers MUST include at least a Content-Type header.
   The content may be any MIME type.
[/snip2]

In practice, I encountered a CPIM message without body. My parser
judged it as an invalid message format, but the opposers said that
there aren't specifications pointing out that CPIM MUST have a body.
I want to know whether the standard CPIM must have a encapsulated MIME
message body?

Thanks in advance.
