I have declude ROUTTO all emails with DELETED0.txt to a special mailbox. I
can then notify the user of the problem and forward them the message. I have
a message I cut and paste explaining why the attachment was deleted.

I get one to two of these a month. The rest are from viruses and I just
delete them after review.
