Thanks for the analysis

In one of the message on povray server, I've found that image are attached 
using MIME encoding. For instance:

Content-Type: image/png; name="Dodecahedron_test_04.png"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Dodecahedron_test_04.png"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64


The code you've found does not use MIME in its heuristics. I believe this code 
could be improved to take MIME into account.

All the best
