Consists of one or more MIME message parts, each separated by a message-specific boundary line, and each part containing a separate document. Each of these parts of the message is currently of Content-Type: application/xml.

The MIME message part whose label ends in _common contains a document conforming to the "common" schema for a particular entity; that is, the schema that will be present for all tenants in a specific deployment. The "common" schema is also supported by search and other functionality which does not apply to extension schema. If there are other MIME message parts present, ending in a name other than _common, these parts will typically represent one or more extension schema, specific to the current tenant.

An example, showing two MIME message parts, each containing XML documents representing part of a CollectionObject: one containing the fields in an extension schema (collectionobject_naturalhistory), and the second containing the fields in the common schema (collectionobjects_common).
