            "Very very loooong value in order to show the line wrapping");

        Console.WriteLine("MimeFormats.Default:");
        Console.WriteLine(mimeType.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine();

        Console.WriteLine("MimeFormats.IgnoreParameters:");
        Console.WriteLine(mimeType.ToString(MimeFormats.IgnoreParameters));
        Console.WriteLine();

        Console.WriteLine("MimeFormats.AvoidSpace:");
        Console.WriteLine(mimeType.ToString(MimeFormats.AvoidSpace));
        Console.WriteLine();

        Console.WriteLine("MimeFormats.LineWrapping:");
        Console.WriteLine(mimeType.ToString(MimeFormats.LineWrapping));
        Console.WriteLine();

        Console.WriteLine("MimeFormats.LineWrapping | MimeFormats.AvoidSpace:");
        Console.WriteLine(mimeType.ToString(MimeFormats.LineWrapping | MimeFormats.AvoidSpace));
