[MlMt] search for attachments

[Zvi Biener]

Thanks, Benny.
Perhaps you can explain, or tell me where to read on, how attachments 
are treated? This is what I'm wondering in particular:

I have a search condition that finds all messages whose 
"Attachment-Count is not 0". This results for me in 4107 messages. I now 
want to specify further conditions on the name of the attachment. I 
used, just to experiment, "Attachment-Name is not xxx", with "all body 
parts" selected. This results in 513 messages. Why does this eliminate 
so many messages? (indeed, I don't have 3594 messages named "xxx" ;-)). 
If I remove the "all body parts" condition, 0 messages are matched.

Can you explain how this works?

Thanks,
Zvi
