Mike,

OK, that should be interesting.

But what about this, which is commented in the top few lines of the file?

# Due to a bug in Outlook Express, you can make the 2nd from last extension
# be what is used to run the file.

So, would that mean that OE might actually run "somebadfile.exe.doc" as
an exe? If that's the case, then perhaps overriding the rule isn't a
good idea.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Chris
