I assumed it was something like that.  I'll advise the user he should change the
setting,  but the road of "your default setting from Bill the Divine are wrong"
is a rough ride with some people.  If it is apparent that the above line causes
the user intense psychological stress I can just let fentun process the
attachment (it is nice to have a fall-back method).  

Thanks for the pointers.
