But if I'm an application and a browser hands me some data, that by spec
should contain two parts, and then proceeds to pass only one piece of data
to me, shouldn't the application catch that and abort the process, instead
of passing a malformed AppleDouble attachment?  Relying on the browser to
enforce the AppleDouble spec is not a good thing, IMHO.  If I could figure
out how in the world the browser was even suggesting AppleDouble, I'd maybe
be able to suggest a permanent solution.

FWIW, I just attached a simple Word document to an email with Firefox on my
Powerbook and it shows up as text/richtext, leading me to believe that
Firefox has got some serious issues with MIME types.
