I can't see that it's going to get any smaller. Things that need to be
added:

. proper handling of the various filename encoding methods

. proper handling of base64 encoded RFC822 attachments

. TNEF snooping

and that's just the critical stuff.

There's been a request for a basic mangle-these-extensions version. No
notification, HTML cleanup, macro scanning, poisoning, etc. Is there
general interest?

  In 1998 more than three times as many people in the US were killed
  by incompetent physicians than were killed by handguns, yet the
  President of the A.M.A. is adopting "gun safety" as his platform.
