Hello,

I received an e-mail, this includes 9 forwarding, each with a file. 
These files are not removed from the e-mail and stored in the 
attachments-directory, although they are larger than 16 KB. For all 
files the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" is set.
The email is stored in completely in "m.00000034"
