Out of curiosity, does that still work with a moron e-mail program that
sends attachments with the wrong MIME type declaration, and/or badly
named attachments.

e.g. MSOE saying a "random.file" attachment is application/octet-stream.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
