Because there may be more tokenizing options that require the full
RFC2822-plus-MIME structure of the message. I also figured it would be
neat and tidy to put the Outlook plug-in on equal footing with the proxy
versions of Outlook. It would certainly make the two versions respond
the same when testing the same corpora.
Synthesizing tokens would scratch this particular itch a few people are
having with attachment names, but not necessarily any future itches. I
figured if I could solve the RFC-format problem easily (which I can't),
it would solve my current issue and also be better for the future of the
code base.
