Actually, if I consider what the xls-to-HTML converter did lately to our 
webmail frontend, I suggest to index "alien" formats asynchroneously, 
maybe in low-priority process, not only to prevent potential long 
conversation time and resource requirement, but also to prevent MUAs 
re-initate the search and force the IMAP server to index the same file 
simultaneously.
