that have attachments.  Many email packages add attachments (ie HTML
versions of a plain text messages, vcards, etc) without the operator
explicitly asking the software to do it.  Therefore, I think stripping
attachments may end up being problematic.   I can restrict size of the
message however.   We could enforce a real low message size to limit large
attachments/message size.
