%[pname.orig=rdu][part=16.3/3]: com.cisco.Main:1112
In this example, the first message has part number 1 and its sequence number, 16, embedded in the part
tag. Subsequent messages embed the sequence number of the first message part and provide their own
part number. The trailing “/3” in each part tag value means that the message consists of three parts.
