Some context in the confirmation request is always useful - i.e. to prove
the request itself isn't SPAM. I was just wishing the other day for an
include-the-original-message-with-stripped-attachments option because I'd
noticed the worms coming in lower than 50K. I solved this by blocking
.zip's as well as the usual extensions so no confirms went out, but only a
few hours after this one started, so I guess I spammed some people with
worms in the confirm requests:-(
