FWIW I don't often send attachments.  When I do, it's by rearrangement or with accompanying text that's elaborate enough
that it can't be faked.
I don't get much spam (my ISP has a filter that I can set for any severity of inspection) but I get lots and LOTS of
infected email.  Norton picks all that up.
