This is more a problem for the attached files than for special purpose 
attachments. For the XML file, the attachment mimetype is enough to identify 
it, and I guess the same could be the case for the tnef blob.

The problem is when a user attaches some file to an event - then how can we 
identify the attachment where it's stored in? In this case we won't have a 
mimetype. So instead we just search all attachments for one that matches the 
filename.

Is there any reason to use the Content-ID field instead?
