I'd be surprised if binary attachments weren't stored as base64 code, which uses the following 65
characters (64 if you start the count at zero), all Ascii:

=AZBCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/

The use of this circumscribed, plain-vanilla Ascii range ensures reliable transmission via e-mail.
