the part numbering and representations are in the middle of a major
reorganization; the part numbers should be normalized across all uses
(with the exception of decrypted messages, whose part numberings will
change based on a successful decryption) once the overhaul is done.

i believe that the "notmuch part" subcommand itself is likely to go away
in favor of a --part=X argument to "notmuch show".

We will ensure that the part numbering is correct, but i agree with you
that current master isn't there yet.
