If it's sent as application/octet-stream, there's no way I can easily read it.
If it's sent using a decent MIME type, then it's okay here. But, some MUAs
(Outlook) usually only send attachments as octet-stream. So, I think it's a
bad policy to advocate for everyone because of these broken mailers. -- justin
