Almost all the spam I'm receiving has an attachment whose file
type is one of .exe, .bat, .com, .scr, .pif, and a few others.  Is
there a way for your Python script to check for that?  How do you
do that in Python.  

I'm guessing that you are not in the mood for receiving executable
files right now.

Here is a strange thing: I'm using procmail and junkfilter to
dispose of these.  I looked at procmail's log, and noticed that 
in many cases (but not all) I seem to be receiving exactly 2 spam
emails from each From address. I suppose this worm does not want
me to think I can do something so simple as send a request to one
infected machine asking it to clean itself up.
