Well, rcube_imap::get_raw_body() returns the complete message source
including all headers and is formatted according to RFC 822.

What you are looking for is a message structure after parsing the source:

 $msg = new rcube_message($uid);
 foreach ($msg->mime_parts as $mime_id => $part)
   echo $msg->get_part_content($mime_id);

Note: you'll need the latest svn checkout to have all these classes available.
