I have a message containing BIG (several MB) .txt attachment with header: 

------_=_NextPart_000_01C26486.ACE095B0
Content-Type: text/plain;
	name="004153_HB17092002.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: attachment;
	filename="004153_HB17092002.txt"

Even if "Content-Disposition: attachment;", the file is displayed inline (no so
bad, this is somehow made fast).

Problem is, that if I reply to such message, attachment is include inline as a
quoted text! This makes my reply extremly BIG (and since the file IS ATTACHMENT)
I do not want it in reply. AND biggest problem is, it takes 2 minutes, while the
reply compose window is displayed. Whole mozilla is freezed at this time.

attachments (at least those with "Content-Disposition: attachment;") should NOT
be included in reply!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself message with big .txt file (e.g. some big logfile)
2. Hit reply, once you receive this message


Actual Results:  
Attachment is included as quoted text in reply. It took several minutes to
display the message composition window, while whole mozilla is freezed.

Expected Results:  
I expect that attachments are not included in reply. (if I want to forward the
attachment, I can use Forward function ;-)
this bug is realy annoying, may be someone from mailnews staff should at least
confirm it and set the priority (?)
