[Bug 3781] New: There should be a rule type for mime part headers

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3781

           Summary: There should be a rule type for mime part headers
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lwilton@earthlink.net


This is slightly related to bug 3780, at least in concept.

With some of the newer spam formats there is gold to be found in the mime 
headers for attachments, typically either the file types, names, or sometimes 
bogus encoding formats.  However, there is currently (to the best of my 
knowledge) no way to grab the mime headers to look at this stuff.

As Theo pointed out in anohter discussion, mime headers are not body rules.  
They also probably really header rules either.  So I think the best thing to do 
would be to make a new rule type, perhaps 'mimeheader' or 'mimehdr' or some 
such.

Within the new rule type I would expect it to work much like the current header 
rules, where you can grep a particular type of header, or use ALL.
