You are quite right, and I found a reasonable way of extending the syntax.
In filename.rules.conf, as well as saying
rename    \.reg$    Renaming Registry files    Renaming Registry files
you can now also say things like this:
rename to .txt    \.reg$    Disarming Registry files    Renaming 
Registry files

That rule will rename any file ending in ".reg" (in any combination of 
lower or upper case) so that the ".reg" is replaced with ".txt".

So when the user receives it and double-clicks on it, instead of 
immediately being merged into their registry, it will be opened in a 
text editor.

And as someone else suggested, you can do
rename to .ppt    \.pps$    Nasty Powerpoint shows    Nasty shows
to automatically rename .pps files to .ppt files instead.

Note that the text matched by the rule's pattern is *replaced* with the 
"rename to" text, it isn't just added on the end.

The "Rename Pattern" setting in MailScanner.conf is now called "Default 
Rename Pattern", as it is only used in filetype.rules.conf, and in 
filename.rules.conf where no "rename to" text is supplied, just the 
"rename" keyword on its own.

That will hopefully do all you need to be able to do, without creating 
any new configuration files or anything nasty like that.

I have just released 4.82.2 which contains all this (and a little fix 
Derek Buttineau needed).

G'night! :-)
