In the source tarballs of GMime, you can find a sample program in the
examples/ directory called basic-example.c (although imap-example.c
might also be useful for you to look over). In basic-example.c, there is
a function called add_a_mime_part() that you might find useful.

If you are creating a simple email message with a text part for the body
and any number of attachments, you  can use a simple MIME structure such as:

GMimeMessage
  GMimeMultipart ("mixed")
    GMimePart (text part)
    GMimePart (attachment)

Generally you'll want to mark the text part as "inline" and the
attachments as "attachment". To do this, use
g_mime_object_set_disposition().

Example:

g_mime_object_set_disposition ((GMimeObject *) text_part, "inline");
g_mime_object_set_disposition ((GMimeObject *) attachment_part,
"attachment");
