You may want to look into the MIMEFILTERS resource. Instead of
completely disregarding all multipart messages, you may just want to
exclude certain media-types from being decoded, like
application/ms-tnef.
With v2.3 (and posted to this list) is a filter library mhnull.pl
which can be registered for media-types to have MHonArc disregard
certain media-types. For example, to have all application/ms-tnef
data ignored, use the following:
<MIMEFilters>
application/ms-tnef; m2h_null::filter; mhnull.pl
</MIMEFilters>
