the id is 387
primary= multipart, secondary = mixed
primary= multipart, secondary = alternative
primary= text, secondary = plain
primary= image, secondary = jpeg
from an unsuccessful import (sent from iphoto):
Email has following attachments:
the id is 389
primary= multipart, secondary = alternative
primary= text, secondary = plain
