Actually Symantec's default action is to drop the email. Which is why I turned that off, I was missing about half the emails on this list at the time. I currently have it set to just modify the subject to say it wasn't scanned. That way if I see it on a message that is not on this list (I have on a few in my junk email) I know to not open it.
I guess one of my questions is what is it supposed to do? Use the first Content-Transfer-Encoding, the last one, or try each of them? What is the mail client supposed to do? If there is an attachment, non-virus, that I want if it picks the wrong encoding it will trash the attachment wouldn't it?

I can embed a virus inside such properly crafted message and let it go though the scanning gateway. Now, the MUA is likely going to open it, and kaboom.
