Look at mailutils/example/mimetest.c
and the header
mailutils/include/mailbox/message.h

In brief, messages are already view as multipart or you can test
if they are multipart i.e. attachements
        int message_is_multipart     __P ((message_t, int *));

if the message is multipart you can get the count:
        int message_get_num_parts    __P ((message_t, size_t *nparts));

and get each part(the second argument is the part you want):
int message_get_part         __P ((message_t, size_t, message_t *));
