I have one use case where I need to search (or rather copy
parts of) the raw article text, and I use
gnus-summary-show-raw-article for that as Gijs suggested.

For another use case, more similar to yours, I want to pro-
perly iterate over attachments, etc.  I haven't done any ac-
tual work in that direction, but noted that it would proba-
bly involve iterating over (gnus-article-mime-handles).  If
someone has a working example, any pointer would be much
appreciated.
