If you have a long memory, you might remember the Mozilla problem
thread a few months ago. Those problems seemed to have been ironed
out, but I came across them again today.

When a user gets attachments inside message/rfc822 attachments,
example from mutt:
I 1 <no description>                        [text/plain, quoted, us-ascii, 0.1K]
I 2 western cape rehabilitation centre              [message/rfc822, 7bit, 180K]
I 3 ��><no description>                              [multipa/mixed, 7bit, 179K]
I 4   ��><no description>                       [multipa/alternativ, 7bit, 1.5K]
I 5   � ��><no description>               [text/plain, quoted, iso-8859-1, 0.3K]
I 6   � ��><no description>                [text/html, quoted, iso-8859-1, 0.9K]
A 7   ��>02-09-2003 Minutes for planning meeting  [applica/msword, base64, 139K]
A 8   ��>02-09-2003 Monday attendence register.doc [applica/msword, base64, 37K]

Mozilla only shows attachment 2, as a rfc822 message without
attachments, saying at the bottom of that messages's source it will
download more later. And never actually doing that, of course.

Tibor Dekany fix for this was:

I believe you should put this into the documentation.
