My recollection is that the attachment headers (content type, name,
and possibly a few other values) are indeed getting mined, just like
for any other MIME part.  We certainly ignore the body for non-text
content, but I think the metadata is used.

Of course, I haven't looked at the code in a while, so that may not
be the case now...
