Go to your room!  This is weird.  The virus detector is catching it as it
says there is no file extension so it assumes the extension to be .exe.
Aha!

12/10/2002 11:03:03 Q1e400d65014a69ab Found file with mismatched extensions
[AR.B.S.ARB-AR.B.S.ARB]; assuming .exe
The problem here is that they are doing something funky and using 2 different file extensions:

Content-Type: text/plain; name="AR.B.S.ARBCA2.FILE06.txt"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="AR.B.S.ARBCA2.FILE06.TEXT"
One has a .txt extension, the other has a .text extension. The program he is using to send the E-mail is not working properly, and needs to be fixed. Although the .txt and .text extensions are safe, Outlook has a vulnerability that can cause it to use the "wrong" extension in a case like this, which can cause a virus to slip through undetected (unless it is caught as a vulnerability).

Your customer needs to change it so that *both* instances of the filename use the .text extension.
