Discard the entire message, yes. It may not be safe to discard just the
attachment, if other message parts have references to that attachment.

If the MessageParts collection has items in it, then you will not be able to
get the text from the TIdMessage.Body property, because that is not where
the text is stored. It will be stored as TIdText instances in the
MessageParts collection instead. Also, you have to take into account that
there may be multiple TIdText items if the email contain multiple flavors of
the text (plain, html, rtf, etc), so make sure you are paying attention to
the ContentType of each item, and that you pay attention to the nesting
levels when "multipart/" items are present.
