Except that I've read a report indicating that there are instances of the malevolent wmf file being relabeled as a jpg. There is apparently an embedded header in wmf files that causes it to be treated as such when opened, despite the misleading jpg extension. Blocking wmf files at the firewall won't protect against this.
