Thanks ... I looked at this class, too. But it looks like there is a 
very limited selection of icon types available.  Maybe I'll just roll my 
own icon database for the most common types.

The problem is that I need to get an icon based on an attachment's MIME 
type, or perhaps from any file name extension, and not from the file 
itself. At the point in time when I need the icon, the attachment is 
still wrapped up in the email file, usually as a long sequence of 
base64-encoded text data.

Maybe there is still another way?
