It's not purely that it contains an attachment -- it's that the attachment
has a MIME type of text/* and that it's been base64-encoded anyway.  The
whole line of yelling test will match *after* the encoded thing's been
decoded (I think), so it means that there's a whole line of yelling in the
text/* attachment.
