On a related note, does anyone have a hunk of code that identifies the
*content* of an attachment (not its name) as that of a Win32 executable? I've
seen some code that does this by checking for several patterns seen in the
base64 encoding matching a Win32 executable header or trailer. What's the best
way to do this in MD?
