Yeah, yeah. They shouldn't be doing that.
FWIW, this is just a standard clipping file created by the OS based on the
flavors IE provides. IE isn't explicitly adding anything to the resource
fork.

The data is definitely in the resource fork, regardless. Check it out. --
and if the OS/"finder" is putting it there, even worse!
Regardless, this doesn't alter the core point -- that Cocoa _silently_
strips significant portions of user files, discarding data with no notice.
