I actually know from experience. Around 20% +/- 5% of emails will have
attachments. If that helps. Again, I say index as much info as you
can. Store what you think it necessary.

What would you estimate is the ratio of meta-data to attachments?
And what is the ratio of documents that have multiple attachments?
I actually suspect that the number of e-mails that have multiple
attachments is small enough that storing the meta-data with each
document would result in a minuscule size increase,
but you'll only find that by gathering some statistics <G>....
