If your server is that busy, you'd be tempfailing those messages anyway. The
point is to push all plaintext to the front of the line, and all attachments
to the back. Note that I'm not singling out HTML. *Any* attachment that's not
plaintext should go to the slow queue, precisely because it costs us more to
scan it for malware.
