[MlMt] searching for attachments

[aisrael]

Bonjour Marc, et merci. Indeed AttachmentCount IS NOT 0 is the best 
solution.

*Less or equal to* is not very useful. *More or equal to 1* gives, as 
expected, the same mails as IS NOT 0.

Best regards,

Alain

PS : in the same dropdown menu, there is an item called X-Attachment. Do 
you know what it corresponds to?
