You can access pdf C-c C-v C-c at the button of multipart/mixed
entity.


multipart/alternative part is required to display only one child of it
and which child is displayed depeds on client.  If the .pdf file is
always required, it should be out of multipart/alternative part as
below.  It is known that Apple Mail sends such insane messages.
Wanderlust displays the message correctly and that is primarily
sender's problem.

As workaround, raise application/pdf part's score for SEMI-EPG.

(eval-after-load "semi-setup"
  '(set-alist 'mime-view-type-subtype-score-alist '(application . pdf) 5))
