  Attachment Names
  From last week, I have been receiving 
  MsOffice attachments with strange names. For instance: a mail had an attached 
  word 97 document Graduation letter.doc. When I 
  double-click on it, I get the confirmation to open the 
  docment Graduation letter.26494DEFANGED-doc 
  which of course is not associated to any application - it seems to have 
  no extension.
   
  Can someone tell me what's 
  happening?

The 
DEFANGED part of the filename suggests that something mangles with the file(s). 
AV or CM?

That's 
Procmail E-Mail Sanitizer.

That 
program adds the Defanged part to attachments.
