I did so for some time, too, but had to disable it, because some 
(important) people are subscribed to some CVS-has-changed notification 
lists, which send embedded CRs and NULs. The sender was complaining, that 
I'm the only person who thinks the mails are bad. (Well, I would probably 
react this way as well, if I'd get only one reply.) I bet that they have 
some newline problem (Mac vs. Unix vs. Windows), because these are huge 
projects they are working within, so someone probably checks in the files 
inconsistently.

Since then I bounce SuspiciousCharsInHeader only and treat them as 
"infected by malware". No complains since then.

Bye,
