Feb 14 00:10:30 paperless python3[3293]: Importing email: "Parking Letter"
Feb 14 00:10:30 paperless python3[3293]: There's more than one attachment to this message. It cannot be indexed automatically.

Any reason why more than one attachment is bad ? Or is this just an opportunity to write some code to process more that one email attachment ?
