the more I think about this, the more I think I'd rather leave the 
message/rfc822 parts alone.  don't 
parse into a subtree, etc.

the majority of MUAs don't display automatically, so I don't think spammers are 
going to start doing 
this en masse.  if this starts happening, and users go and open attachments 
from people they don't 
know (don't they know not to do this due to worms/etc?), there's really no 
difference between that and 
if spammers start sending doc, pdf, etc spam attachments.  we don't scan those 
either.

just because there's a spam attachment message, doesn't mean the whole message 
should be 
considered spam anyway.  mailman notification and (imnsho) DSNs are examples of 
this -- non-spam 
email messages that may contain spam messages as an attachment, not as an 
advertisement.

so I'd say we should take the message/* parts, and ignore them entirely.
