The %detach.r script had problems with messages sent from the 
following...

1. BeOS 5 Pro with BeMail e-mail client
2. Windows NT 4 with Pegasus e-mail client

My suspicion is %detach.r hasn't been tested against very many e-mail 
clients (the author isn't to blame for this.)

In parsing the /content of an e-mail object! I suspect there may be as 
many different ways of presenting the boundary message as there are e-
mail clients across operating systems.

It would be interesting to know what kind of similar hang-ups the REBOL 
team ran into when designing the 'email object to begin with.

Currently, %detach.r and the accompanying %attach.r are the only 
resources/examples available concerning e-mail attachments and REBOL. 
Perhaps persons using the beta version of /command have more or better 
resources concerning attachments than /core users? Perhaps there is a 
global 'detach function available?
