You are failing to understand my point.
To me any message that has a .exe attachment is spam. That's just how
I work because I'm on a Mac therefore I'd like to use
check_microsoft_executable who's job it is to bump up the score if
there's an executable attachment. The problem right now is that
1. this check is handled by the antivirus plugin. it probably
shouldn't be as bumping the score because there's an attachment has
nothing do to with anti-virus checking.
2. the check isn't thorough enough because it doesn't consider
other content-types whereby people hide executable attachments.
...
Therefore. I don't care whether SA is an anti-virus tool or not it's
completely irrelevant to me.

SPAM is not always the same for everybody.
Sure it is. Spam (please don't capitalize the entire word - Hormel
gets annoyed) is Unsolicited Bulk Email.
In my case anything with .exe is SPAM because nobody will send me
a .exe
Calling a worm "spam" does not make it spam.
If I'm being too much of a pedantic purist, just let me know... :)

Windows and its users got mentioned at home today, after my wife the
psych major brought up Seligman's theory of "learned helplessness."
