I just had a thought, which I'm sure complicates things more ... :-)

What happens to the stripped attachment ?  I occasionally get valid 
attachments that meet some criteria of the poisoned list (the double dot 
extensions are one of them).

Is it possible for the attachment to be saved to a directory with a unique 
prefix to the name, for later disposal ? Just a thought. :-)

Thanks!
