Indeed.  In a week we are implementing a feature to remove multimedia
files from emails using MIMEDefang and replace them with a URI and
some scare text to say "click here to get your media file, and be sure
you are complying with our acceptable use policy."

I will track and report how many attachments are removed by this, and
how many are actually downloaded.  We won't be auditing for compliance
- we are just expecting the warning to scare people into not
redistributing this stuff in email.  ;-)
