NO NO NO. We are not crazy. 

But: It has been a similar bug in Eudora and may still be there. Eudora
predecodes alla attachments and puts them in to the attachment directory and
then replacing the encoded attachment in the mbox with the plain text
'Attachment Decoded: c:\apps\internet\eudora\attach\letter.doc' on a single line.

Thus including 

Attachment Decoded: c:\autoexec.bat

in a mail will be replaced by a fine little icon that the target user may
click on. pagefile.sys or similar gigant file can be even more funnier.
YMMV.
