I've also looked into this. Scanning and creating body structures is not the problem.
Actually part-body-string does only work for quite simple multipart messages. I had an idea though how to simplify part lookup and at the same time support komplex multipart messages:

AFAIR the body structure stores the boundary of the part. So it should be possible to scan the message for the beginning boundary tag of the given part - completely ignoring any hierarchy. I'll try that as soon as my time permits.

ciao,
Jochen
