Eudora 5.2 and attachments

[David Chait]

Jim,
    Interesting, but yes, Stanford did try to patch Cyrus imapd to
compensate and it seemed to work with some older versions of the source, but
stopped when I upgraded past 2.1.4, our best results have come from
upgrading users to 5.2 or another client altogether.
