Ironport appliances don't reject any attachments by default.

Off the top of my head, if you can find answers for Mailscanner and
Barracuda appliance defaults for this file extension, then I think you
could feel confident about at least 95% of all deployed attachment filters.

I've checked out bug 220646 and I can see where your interest stems
from.  ....also feeling glad I'm not part of *that* "conversation."  I'd
be interested in hard stats about how many sites actually do strip .eml
attachments.  My guess is that it's a pretty tiny number.
