Julian,

Could you change the report so that it tells people the file name 
displayed is not the full file name?  Maybe instead of:

> Very long filenames are good signs of attacks against Microsoft e-mail packages (~~~~~)

something like:

> Very long filenames are good signs of attacks against Microsoft e-mail packages (sanitized file name: ~~~~~~)

This might make it easier for people to realize they're not looking at 
the full file name.
