As you guessed yourself these messages contain executables you don't
expect. The sensible thing to do would be to make a filter looking for
file extensions that are dangerous. In this special case SCR (Windows
screensavers) and PIF (DOS starters from Windows) are used.

The filter should move the messages into a special folder instead of
being deleted at once - or you could move them to Trash and create a
colour group for them to spot them easier - so you can have a look at
them if any legitimate mail was filtered. If not kill them, or better
yet, delete the messages and kill the author.

I am sure there is a way to filter on attachment's extensions, but
don't know how, maybe with RegEx.
