Do you have a valid key for your avpdaemon?  Note that demo version of
it does NOT, unfortunately, decodes MIME structure, license key is
required.  And the situation you see is pretty common in this respect.
If you want to, you can try to use old version of AVP (it was called
AvpDaemon at that time) to see it out in action.
