 "[...] is the textual parts of the message body; any non-text MIME
  parts are stripped [...]"  -- M::SA::Conf

However, I just was about to prove this, when I noticed you're right
about them lying about the MIME type. :-(

  Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="foo.txt"

The MUA happily will show the attached text based on the file name
extension, but the bloody Content-Type prevents SA from treating it as a
textual part of the message. Boo!

This now is known as bug 6439.

On the other hand, this doesn't prevent even this type of 419 scams to
sneak through here. Not even close.

Yes, it does. *Unless* the spammer lies about the MIME type.
