I ran into the exact same problem. This PR fixes it. I'm urging the maintainers to please merge this PR.

Hi all,

Doing a few tests, I noticed that yes, this PR fixes the panics, but leads to leave out parts of the email, I had better luck with this version of the parseRawEmail function:

func (email *ParsedEmail) parseRawEmail(rawEmail string) error {
	sections := strings.SplitN(rawEmail, "\n\n", 2)
	email.parseHeaders(sections[0])
	raw, err := parseMultipart(strings.NewReader(sections[1]), email.Headers["Content-Type"])
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	// if Content-Type is not multipart just set the whole email
	if raw == nil {
		if len(sections) < 2 {
			return nil
		}

		wholeEmail := sections[1]
		// decode if needed
		if email.Headers["Content-Transfer-Encoding"] == "quoted-printable" {
			decoded, err := io.ReadAll(quotedprintable.NewReader(strings.NewReader(wholeEmail)))
			if err != nil {
				return err
			}
			wholeEmail = string(decoded)
		}

		email.Body[email.Headers["Content-Type"]] = wholeEmail
		return nil
	}

	for {
		emailPart, err := raw.NextPart()
		// Check for both io.EOF and the wrapped multipart: NextPart: EOF
		if err == io.EOF || (err != nil && err.Error() == "multipart: NextPart: EOF") {
			break
		}
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		rawEmailBody, err := parseMultipart(emailPart, emailPart.Header.Get("Content-Type"))
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		if rawEmailBody != nil {
			for {
				emailBodyPart, err := rawEmailBody.NextPart()
				// Check for both io.EOF and the wrapped multipart: NextPart: EOF
				if err == io.EOF || (err != nil && err.Error() == "multipart: NextPart: EOF") {
					break
				}
				if err != nil {
					return err
				}
				header := emailBodyPart.Header.Get("Content-Type")
				b, err := io.ReadAll(emailPart)
				if err != nil {
					return err
				}
				email.Body[header] = string(b)
			}

		} else if emailPart.FileName() != "" {
			b, err := io.ReadAll(emailPart)
			if err != nil {
				return err
			}
			email.Attachments[emailPart.FileName()] = b
		} else {
			header := emailPart.Header.Get("Content-Type")
			b, err := io.ReadAll(emailPart)
			if err != nil {
				return err
			}

			email.Body[header] = string(b)
		}
	}
	return nil
}

Basically, the diffence is that I added the (horrible, but errors.Unwrap() didn't work on that error) check (err != nil && err.Error() == "multipart: NextPart: EOF") along with the err == io.EOF one. In this way, I still catch the EOF, but I don't stop too early.

For the record, the wrapped error multipart: NextPart: EOF comes from here: multipart/multipart.go.

It's not clear to me why I can't just do

	if err == io.EOF || (err != nil && errors.Unwrap(err) == io.EOF) {
		break
	}

@darioleanbit's changes didn't fix the issue for me. Turns out that I'm getting inbound email requests with headers but an entirely empty body, so the crash is happening at the indexing ofsections[1] which is beyond the end of the array.

	sections := strings.SplitN(rawEmail, "\n\n", 2)
	email.parseHeaders(sections[0])
	raw, err := parseMultipart(strings.NewReader(sections[1]), email.Headers["Content-Type"])
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

In my fork, I fixed this (on top of @darioleanbit's changes), and added a testcase to reproduce the crash and make sure it's fixed.
