I came across this, which people may find interesting and
potentially useful:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3514.txt
This rfc describes the use of an "evil" flag in the IPv4 network
packet headers. But it also briefly mentions a new mime type:
An application/evil MIME type is defined for Web- or email-carried
mischief. Other MIME types can be embedded inside of evil sections;
this permit easy encoding of word processing documents with macro
viruses, etc.
Cheers
