So Outlook users see the attachments twice and non-Outlook users see a
useless winmail.dat attachment.
In any case that means that the size of the raw message is roughly
doubled, which might pose problems with mailbox quotas and the like.
Julian, how about an option to replace rather than add? Perhaps as a
single config file option with three values "No" (for Outlook-only
sites), "Add" (for the paranoid) and "Replace" (for the rest of us) or
whatever.
