+    If the file is of type message/rfc822, we tack onthe extension .eml.
+
+    The reason for this is that Microsoft Internet Explorer will not open
+    things with a .eml attachment, as they deem it 'unsafe'. Worse yet,
+    they'll just give you an incomprehensible error message. For more

+
+     WORKAROUND
+
+     To work around this behavior, rename the .EML file that the URL
+     links to so that it has a .MHT file name extension, and then update
+     the URL to reflect the change to the file name. To do this:
+
+     1. In Windows Explorer, locate and then select the .EML file that
+        the URL links.
+     2. Right-click the .EML file, and then click Rename.
+     3. Change the file name so that the .EML file uses a .MHT file name
+        extension, and then press ENTER.
+     4. Updated the URL that links to the file to reflect the new file
+        name extension.
+
+    So... we do that. :)'''
