Hmm, works fine in Thunderbird/Netscape, or at least I can see it as plain text.

It seems from Pete's MIME headers that he intended for the message to just simply be attached and viewable as the original message.  If he changed the extension to .eml that should work.  I'm not sure whether or not is is better to see the plain text source or the rendered message.  I guess I am used to seeing the plain text and it is easier for me to figure out what the rule matched that way without a Ctrl+U to view the source (shortcut in Thunderbird/Netscape).

Yep... banning 1.msg wouldn't be a good idea unless we can get Pete to
change the name of his attachments.  I myself would prefer them not to be
named .msg (.txt would be _great_) as I can't open them directly in OE that
way.  I have to save them to disk in order to see which false positive I
reported.

My bad. I was not banning eml and msg. I realized that as I was getting AOL
feedbacks. What I was banning was 1.msg as there was a virus reported to be
using that.

Sniffer responds to false positives and in doing so, renames the request to
1.msg as an attachment to the response.

With Declude 1.82, we haven't had any trouble with decoding and blocking
viruses or banned attachments in attached .eml or .msg files.  We wouldn't
block them separately because of all of forwarded messages sent as
attachments, both by us, AOL feedback loops, and by our users.

What are others thoughts on blocking eml and msg attachments?

If there is an eml or msg attachment which that has a executable or virus
attachment, will Declude properly decode it and will it be scanned for
viruses and banned attachments?
