  I've had a procmail recipe in place for some time which 
dumps all such mails into "spamfolder" where they get swept
out once they're 30 days old.  Once in a while I look in 
~/mail/spamfolder just to make sure none of the headers look 
like they might actually be legitimate e-mails.  Once an 
e-mail was from someone I knew... it was a mail to a BCC 
list containing JavaScript and multipart yadayada.

  Doing it this way means any new virus automatically goes 
in there.  I didn't even know about KLEZ until I read about 
it here.  Looked in my spamfolder and discovered I had 
indeed already received three of them.

  procmail recipe:

:0 Bf
* Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
| formail -b -f -A "$trash_header ordinary tag-contents body binary"

  Acts on any e-mail containing a binary/executable 
attachment... which includes all these nuisance Windows 
virii.
