MGR: File handling behavior change

There's a misfeature in the Firehawk (current software) file handling... 
the *first* thing it does with a message is trim out any MIME segments 
other than the text version of the message.  It saves files to the 
groupname/files/ web directory, and puts a link in the message.  So far, 
so good... but then that message might get bumped for moderation, rejected 
for nonsubscribership, whatever.  Initial spam checking has taken place 
earlier, but a fair amount still reaches this point... and those files are 
not getting cleaned up well.

So until we go to Gamehawk, I'm just arbitrarily shutting off that 
file-saving feature.  Should someone upload a file, and then panic because 
it's gone, I can pull it back up from the incoming logs (we save the 
originals of incoming messages because I am a pack rat with data as well 
as with physical junk), but I don't think that happens much at all 
anymore, what with the wikis and all (which are a whole 'nother can of 
worms).
