It's not that easy. You need at leas Content-Type=something and
a matching filename, given in MIME-style (name=...). The now
well-known "begin 0644 filename" tricks with the correct
filename will trigger the filter also. Nigel did his best with
these regular expressions, but his filter is not a complete
MIME-parser (parsing MIME with regexp only is a pain).
So be aware of the limitations of this filter.

Strongly agreed.
