I thought this was possible, and ... it is! Check out mh-sequence(5),
but here's the key bit:
The specifications "name:next" and "name:prev" may also be used, and
they designate the next or previous message (relative to the current
message) which is an element of the user-defined sequence `name'. The
specifications "name:first" and "name:last" are equivalent to "name:1"
and "name:-1", respectively. The specification "name:cur" is not
allowed (use just "cur" instead). The syntax of these message range
specifications is subject to change in the future.

I have to ask ... do you not use mhshow(1)? Because that should really
suppress a lot of the "useless" MIME. We tried to make the defaults
work sensibly for modern email messages.
