I may be able to, but as always, this will get in the way of some 
legitimate reasons to attach attachments as well.

My personal view is that its much more sensible for everyone to take 
steps to protect themselves from the harsh world outside, in this 
case with virus scanning software, than it is to rely on a volunteer 
list run in spare time to be equipped with magic to do so - 
especially when you're far more likely get virus-bourne email from 
others as well or at the same time.

Cheers,
Simon
