[MlMt] Save Attachments… – Exclude smallest files

[Thomas Eckhold]

Good point, Zvi. However, I can then no longer decide "from mail to 
mail" which data I want to save, but have to set up a suitable rule for 
all cases. This is helpful in itself and of course I can then readjust 
individual cases manually. But generally, a distinction between "real" 
attachments and the content of the mail (logos and encryption) at the 
mail client level would be helpful. For example, MailMate (rightly) does 
not display the S/MIME certificate as an attachment (and this is the 
case with many logos, although not always). Such a certificate typically 
belongs in Keychain, but does not require any further storage.
