Why?
In case the attachment is bound to the mail text (not seperated) all attachments have to
convertet from mail (b64) to file. this may take a long time and make the search ineffective.
the other point is that in case of any anti-malware protection theses files have to be scanned,
makes it more slower than it is.
Next point - what should becky search and what do you expect how to open theses files?
Due to security reason the whole idea behind makes becky vulnerable.
i wont agree to it - last word is to Carty himself.

It would certainly be helpful when doing a search (Mail Query) for it to flag all those found emails which at least have an attachment. Or have a tickbox to only search for emails with an attachment.

Finding mails with attachment:
- open search
- mark "header"
- keyword "multipart/mixed"
go
(in some cases html-mails were found too - depends on the senders format)
- open search
