	There, I must disagree very strongly.  Plenty of people in this 
world have reason to be mailing attachments around, although I'm 
opposed to their using e-mail as a replacement for proper 
file-transfer technologies for large attachments.

	Yes, I agree that there should be some default controls to make 
this sort of stuff less dangerous, but I am most certainly not 
convinced that they should be deleting directly executable 
attachments unless expressly asked to do so.


	This would be a good topic for coverage in the BCP for service providers.
