My mum told me there was no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid
answers. 

Well done Jerome, you proved her right.

Because you told ASSP to do so.

What you should be disappointed about is that there are still people who

use unsafe(ly configured) clients and who, after years of warnings, 
still blindly open files. For a trojan in a zipfile to work you need 
quite a few user interactions.

A zipfile attached to an email doesn't just automagically detach, unzip 
and execute.

Jeroen
