What I was wondering is, has somebody written a Procmail filter to
zap these attachments from incoming mail? Not the whole message, just
The following just came across the SmartList list a day or so ago.

I get these, too. But procmail is perfect for this:
:0fbw
* ^X-Ms-Attachment: WINMAIL\.DAT
|sed '/^begin [0-7][0-7][0-7] WINMAIL\.DAT$/,/^end$/d'
:0fbw
* ^Content-Type: multipart/mixed

:0fbw
* ^X-Nvl-Content-Type: MULTIPART;
|sed
'/^--\$----Novell--Attachment----\$$/,/^--\$----Novell--Attachment----
\$$/d'
