How does Splunk Streams handle a SMTP stream containing multiple emails?

Hello
I am new to Splunk and interested in the capabilities of Splunk Stream.

If Splunk stream receives a SMTP session that contains multiple emails, does the stream get split into the individual emails?

For example a typical SMTP session between two mail servers will contain multiple emails in a single TCP session (such as when email is being relayed from one mail server to another).

Does anyone have an examples of this would be visible in Splunk?
Thank you.
