FYI, if you are running procmail in a shell account:
:0 BD
* ^(T(24gRXJ|V(oAAAI|pQAAI|psAAE|qQAAM))|(UEsDBBQ))
/dev/null
in your ~/.procmailrc will catch most M$ executables in your e-mail
and trash them.
Be advised that if you expect executables in your e-mail, it will
trash them too, as well as zipped files-so you would have to make a
policy on that.

BTW, the recipe looks for the base64 encoded M$ executable
header/loader information in the beginning of the file in the e-mail
body. See /usr/share/misc/magic for particulars.
