could make sense if a virus would send out sero-sized attachments,
but this make no sense.
if this happens from time to time the virus itself has a problem
or a virus which would at first send out zero-sized-attachment to suggest
"hey, i am harmless" and would replace this later with an real virus,
makes not really sense.


could it make sense to include something like
"Attachment Size in Report"  ?
if the virus is detected by the virus-scanner i am not really
interested in the size of the different variations
