The problem is that you MUST search the body of the message -- you have no choice.  
That's where the filename will be 99% of the time (it's technically possible to have 
the filename in the message headers, but only if there is no text, and you have just 
the one attachment).

Also, you can't search just for "exe".  That will catch legitimate E-mail -- it will 
catch things like "executive" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

What you want to do is search the headers and body for 'name=*.exe'. That should get 
both variations of MIME file names ("name=" and "filename=").  It doesn't get 
uuencoded or BinHex attachments, but that's a problem for a different day.
