OK, based on that, I dug a little deeper...

It *is* a dodgy filename

    Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;
            name="Shortcut (2) to Copy of PayrollTFC (version 2) 3.lnk.xls"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: attachment;
            filename="Shortcut (2) to Copy of PayrollTFC (version 2)
    3.lnk.xls"


But MailScanner is reporting the filename as beign the valid one

Warning: This message has had one or more attachments removed
Warning: (Shortcut 29 t.xls).
