Renattach is a small, efficient and surprisingly effective filter
designed primarily to offer an additional level of safety to Windows
users whose e-mails pass through a UNIX-like mail server. Many modern
viruses are spread through e-mail, and renattach combats such viruses by
filtering e-mail attachments based on file extension. In version 1.1.1,
the MIME type is also renamed. The idea is to rename potentially
dangerous attachments (executable ones) so that the user, or the user's
poorly written e-mail software, does not accidentally execute the
attachment.
