Bug found and fixed. The problem was that we missed attachments that
were text/plain, did not have a name, but did have a filename. I first
thought it was another case of the From line in mbox, but if you
looked at the raw output you could see that we actually had the whole
thing in there. So in passing, I also wrote a small tool that lets us
reparse messages that are already in the db, whenever we change/fix
the parsing rules.
