Attempt to hide real filename extention

It's because there are 2 extensions:
filename.extension1.extension2

Some viruses had attachments such as:
zippedfiles.zip.exe
to trick not-so-savvy users.

Hence the rule, which you can kill if you need to.

I got an error on one site running mailscanner. 
Report: Attempt to hide real filename extension in Body_Rtf.rtf.ent 
What does this mean exactly? I checked the filename rules file, and 
couldn't see an entry about .ent.
