Apparently. But is it possible to configure it to move all that text except the first sentence to the end of the message? It's a bit annoying to have to scroll through 40-odd lines of wordy warnings to get to the 10-line message. Also, what exactly did MIME-defang do in this case? As a guess, it seems to have converted text/plain attachments with useful names into application/octet-stream attachments with meaningless names, apparently without changing the content at all. Which means that you have to skim the warnings to figure out which file is which--and, at least for kmail users, that they open in kwrite instead of in your default text editor (or inline, or in the built-in text viewer). What is this protecting us from? Finally, it's a bit strange to say, "... if you were not expecting a file of this type..." and never mention what type the file originally was. Couldn't MIME-defang say, "An attachment named 'foo' of type 'mime/type' was converted..."?
