Usually, the main part of the message, is the first non-attachment part
you find. So, if you have a tree like
mime1
|- text
|- mime2
|- attachment
|- another text (possibly mime3)
then the main part is text. Otherwise, just look for the first
text/plain or text/html mime-section you can find in the list (closest
to the top). If both a text/plain and a text/html section appear on the
same level, your script will need to decide which one to show (a lot of
mailers attach both a plain-text copy and an html copy of the text)
