I hate to even suggest this....

Is there any mileage in getting exim to parse off the MIME in-body
headers during read-in and stash them someplace visible?

it means making the body reader much more complex - it needs to look
for MIME separators, then grab the next header batch.

a simple implementation will also not work for nested mime embeds
(which are quite legal and are done if a message is MIME forwarded for
example).

There are issues on where do you stash these lines, how do you access
them, how can you express the nesting etc.

An alternative - also tricky to implement and strictly limited - is to
run a regexp over the body as it comes in.... but that has the problem
that you need a window in memory to do this. [the idea being this
regexp would set a flag which could be tested in a filter etc]

    Nigel.
