<br>
If the encoding is GMIME_CONTENT_ENCODING_DEFAULT, then the return
value will be NULL.<br>
<br>
Since none of your MIME parts in your sample message had a
Content-Transfer-Encoding header, no encoding was specified (which
generally means you should treat it as "8bit").<br>

<br>
No. The g_mime_part_get_content_description() functions returns the
value provided for the Content-Description header (which none of
your MIME parts contained).<br>
<br>
If you want the value of the Content-Type header, you need to use
g_mime_object_get_content_type() :)<br>
<br>
However, that won't return a string, it will return a
GMimeContentType due to the fact that you typically want to access
parameter values.<br>
