Sure.  Make it an option, then!  I suggest decoding and saving HTML
messages and attachments, and making them clickable links, so users
are only subjected to their horrors if they click on them.

Sure, but duplicates will come in quite quickly; it will be pretty
useless as soon as 40 people send in "map.gif", don't you think?  We'd
have to do filename munging in any case, and that's sticky.  What do
you suggest, prefix the filename with a number if the original filename
is taken?
