Here's a wacky message structure my mom sent me (using Apple Mail):

I haven't set up attachment detection properly, so %X says this message has 0 attachments.

Details of how this works and why it's hard are here: http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.html#attachments

This is exactly what I'm dealing with. Though sometimes it's not multipart/mixed but multipart/relative. Regardless, I was not able to set up attachment detection properly to pick up the application/pdf.

attachments +I application/.*

was not enough.
