I'm assuming you mean to close the /if tag before the /mime tag.

This is a block syntax issue in general.  The structure above violates
the parser rules.  A possibility is to have a conditional boudary tag. 
Otherwise you have to write two mime blocks inside a wrapping if -else
block.

A conditional boundary tag wouldn't be to hard, want to take a stab at
it?

You can get to the name, but not attach it to the block.  This is a
simple fix and would be a good warm up exercise to fulfill your above
requirements.
