I’m not sure exactly what the problem is here - I’ve never had a
problem with multipart/mixed that I remember - but you might try C-c
C-v C-c (mime-preview-show-content) on the button for the mime part
that you want to view.

WL has some complicated display logic for which multipart parts to
show that I don’t understand, but it seems from looking at the
definition of `mime-display-multipart/mixed' that multipart/mixed
should always display all the parts, which makes sense. It’s possible
there is a problem with previewing the part in Emacs. In that case I
find `v` (mime-preview-play-current-entity) or `e`
(mime-preview-extract-current-entity) tend to work to view the
attachment/mime part in a different program or to save to disk.

best, Erik
