Then those responsible for that policy show a remarkable lack of 
reality. :-) multipart/mixed has just attachments and multipart/signed 
is just digitally signed.

If they don't want you to send files, do they catch a toplevel CT of 
image/png? Or application/msword FWIW? :-)

Do they catch uuencoded files in text/plain toplevels? :-)

I don't think we should cater crappy security policies with KMail. You 
can see how we handle charsets. That's how we should handle text 
formats.
