There is a very big difference between the number of attachments and the

The number of attachments is and always has been unlimited.

Got that, thanks for clarification.

Are you telling me that you see recursion depth > 64 in the wild? It's
theoretically possible of course, but do such messages actually occur?

Keep in mind that many virus/spam scanners don't like very deep
mime-structures.

If anyone is stuffing attachments inside attachments, inside
attachments, etc to a depth of over 64, I'd like to see it. And no, I
don't give a f*ck about mail-loops that include the original message as
an attachment.

I've got a db dump from one of our customers:

mysql> select max(part_depth) from dbmail_partlists;
+-----------------+
| max(part_depth) |
+-----------------+
|             242 |
+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.69 sec)

mysql> select * from dbmail_partlists where part_depth = 242;
+----------------+-----------+----------+------------+------------+----------+
| physmessage_id | is_header | part_key | part_depth | part_order | part_id  |
+----------------+-----------+----------+------------+------------+----------+
|        3617138 |         1 |      966 |        242 |          0 | 16509340 |
|        3617138 |         0 |      966 |        242 |          1 | 16509341 |
|        3617138 |         1 |      967 |        242 |          0 | 16509342 |
|        3617138 |         0 |      967 |        242 |          1 | 16509805 |
+----------------+-----------+----------+------------+------------+----------+
4 rows in set (0.96 sec)

I'll try to figure out what kind of message is that.
