Somewhat off topic but does someone here know if there's a standard file 
extension that represents a null program. What I mean is that we rename 
some attachment suffixes to .txt but this causes some problems with some 
applications. We'd like to rename the attachments with another suffix, 
one that will never be used for an application (present or future). Does 
anyone know if a standard suffix has been created for just this purpose?
