The message parser works fine, it just intentionally doesn't subparse
message/rfc822 parts past the first one.  Non text/* or message/* parts are
already ignored.  The specific issue here is 1) only subparsing one level and
2) treating non-parsed message/* parts as text.

Both of those behaviors come from other tickets and were decided upon as the
correct course of action to fix the issues from those tickets.  We can't do it
both ways, either we solve one set of problems or the reverse set of problems.
If you think you do know how to solve both sets, please feel free to explain.
