i'd prefer to see us develop a more 21st century solution 

first, we should register mime types that we DO allow on a list

second, if someone must send an executable attachment , then we have a
signing server that signs the attachment as trustworthy - most of the
stupid atachments come from places who wouldnt be part of my trust
chain.....
