> Why not have the sender PGP encrypt & sign it it?
That's asking a lot more of a user (or his/her IT staff) than just
renaming a file.
How about something simpler yet: a sender confirmation (similar to a
list confirmation, requiring either a blank reply or a deliberate
"OK") required to deliver e-mails with attachments. Yes, any virus
originated from a real, attended and purely malicious e-mail account
would be able to be maliciously confirmed, but how common would that
be? Yes, this could create joe-job floods, but it would only apply to
attachments that are (a) gray-banned, not totally banned or totally
allowed, and (b) not containing known viruses, so there would be
controls on the flooding.
For Declude Virus users, such a solution would be pretty simple to
implement, so I wonder what the commnunity's interest would be.
