You'd also get a lot of false positives... but I think if you were to search the
whole message, you'd probably match on it because attachements are part of the
body text, unless TB! stops when it hits the attachments.

When I say false positives, I've found some of the spam filters I have setup on
the servers are catching things in the body because of file attachments... like
I have one filter in procmail that says mark the mail as spam if it contains the
work "porn".  Unfortunately due to the random combination of letters that are
produced by attachments, occasionaly words actually crop up in there.  Maybe TB!
body filtering stops when it gets to attachements?
