	Ok, but after read docs, Im not sure if procmail or tmda removes such "bad" attachs. Do you know about? I need to find and remove such attachs, sending mail to user without the bad attachs.

	PS: I started to write (in C) such attach extracter, but it got complicated when I noted that possibly i would have to demime a message encoded with, say, base64 or other different than pure text.
