Note that another, possibly more sane way of approaching this would be to
manually synthesize tokens with the relelvant information.  ie, if it really
is as simple as "is there an attachment?" (or even tokens for the
filenames/extensions), I expect it would be quite simple to implement a)
without attempting to re-create the MIME just so the tokenizer can unpack it
and b) without needing to extract the attachments themselves.

I'm happy to offer guidance with this...

Mark.
