How are you testing the 'renattach' script?

IMO, Very few MS people, even the knowledgeable MS/MSCE ones, understand 
how any other Operating System works.  It always amazes me why people 
seem to think that they will get reliable and/or unbiased expert 
information about Unix (or any MS competitor Operating System) from 
people whose only backgrounds/incomes are in MS Systems.

1.  I've been experimenting with Clamavis (Clam anti-virus) even though 
I keep being reminded about how it is a research project.

2.  So far, the 'renattach' script that I run has been extremely 
effective in preventing trojans from doing anything when slipped into my 
E-mails.
