You still talking about one chance in on the order of 100000000000000000000.
Is this what you will tell to the CEO when his quarterly report turns out to
be a goatse pic? :)) The question is not about how small is the chance, but
that there is in fact a chance of this happening. The developers seem to be
aware of this, and are indicating that it will be ironed out before 2.4 is
out, so things seem to be OK.
OTOH I will remain a loyal 2.2 user if 2.4 does not have a bit-by-bit
comparison of a just-received attachment and an entry in the database with the
same hash.
