Hmm.. wonder how that got there? ;)

But your mail *still* triggers the issue - you had an attachment, so
when I do a 'reply', all the MIME stuff gets included.  Yeah, *your*
attachment was a dozen lines of text/plain.  Unfortunately, the attachments
I get tend to be 624 page PDF files or Microsoft Office documents or similar,
and when you do a 'reply' to get the "Here's the document" line so you can
add "thanks, got it" and hit send, you *also* get the base64 mess of all
624 pages of PDF.

And Tk/Tcl goes "oink" when it tries to handle a canvas big enough to hold
8 megabytes of base64 text... ;)

And yes, I'm glad the above line wasn't the 624 pages of the Sun ACSLS
documentation... :)
