I'd asked this before (with no answer on the 'dev' list), but what are SA's
policies for scanning attachments? Why would it try to scan a file
attachment
anyway? I thought it was only supposed to scan text/html attachments?

One of the users report an FP on a uuencoded file, but this was sent in the
old-style
non MIME-compliant fashion. I suggested in that case that he put togther a
few
rules for noting the BEGIN, END, and long text lines typical of base64, and
then
build a metarule, scored with a negative score which combined those features
of
the old-style uuencoded file "attachment".
