As a quick and dirty option, you can use procmail to filter. Depending on
your security posture and thread environment, you can filter on
multi-extension vbs files (e.g. AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs), all VBS files, exe
files, or any combination. You could filter them to a quarantine area, then
peruse them at your leisure.

You should combine this with turning off auto execute of attachments on all
of your windows boxen.
