You can apply the same arguments of lack of mens rea, and the same threat to fit someone up by emailing them a naughty-file, to the existing laws on possession of child pornography. The offence is "to possess". The only intention needed is that to intend possession - not to peruse. But this is a defence, surely: is it possible to fit someone else up by emailing them a load of sus files? Maybe not, if there is no trail of request from the fittee to ask for the emails to be sent. (Owning the files in order to send them is an offence, so mind how you go.)
