I'm embarassed to say that I don't remember why I did that.  I think that
it was because I looked at attachment headerss in emails that I received,
maybe even some created by mhbuild, and they had it.  I didn't do the
-attachformat stuff, someone else did and I have never used it so wouldn't
notice if it went away.
