office 2007 files being treated as archives

[Jason Ede]

I've noticed a problem when sending office 2007 files...

For an attached excel worksheet for example... .xlsx Mailscanner seems to be treating this as an archive and complaining about double extensions. We can get round this by saving the file as a office 97-2003 file, but surely there must be a better way of doing it?

This happens on the latest stable release btw...
