Most executables do.  At this site, we currently have a policy of
disallowing incoming Windows executables, and we do this with the
following rule in an exim ACL, which looks for a blank line followed by
one of these strings (may not be a complete list - replace the ".." with
"  " (space space)):

  deny   message   = This message appears to contain a file that is \
                     considered executable by MS Windows.\n\
                     Our policy is to not accept such files.
         condition = ${if or { \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVqQAAMAA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVpQAAIAA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVpAALQAc} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVrmAU4AA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVrhARwAk} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVoFAQUAA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVoAAAQAA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVoAAAQAA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVoIARMAA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVrQAT8AA} } \
                              { match{$message_body:}{..TVpyAXkAX} } \
                             }{yes}{no}}
