Nuking things with a slash followed by an underscore probably won't get
many hits, from BadTrans or anything else.  A quick search of the list
archives will get you lots of discussion on BadTrans and other safeties
that can be applied in procmail.  What you most likely want is something
more along the lines of:

:0
* ^From:.*<_
* ^Content-Type:.*boundary="====_ABC1234567890DEF_===="
* B ?? ^Content-Type: audio/x-wav;
* B ?? ^Content-ID: <EA4DMGBP9p>
/dev/null

If you want extra speed and can sacrifice some precision, take out the
body checks ("B ??").

And I haven't had any hits, but I think I detect 
W32(_dot_)Goner(_dot_)A(_at_)mm with:

:0
* ^From:.*<_
* ^Subject:[    ]Hi
* B ?? gone\.scr
/dev/null

And because it bears mentioning again, ALWAYS use something like:

# Generic Win32 attachment blocker...
:0 fwh
* 9876543210^0 
^Content-[a-z0-9_-]+:.*="?[^"]*\.(vb[se]|ws[fh]|hta|shs|pif|(doc|txt|xls)\.)
* 9876543210^0 B ?? ^Content-[a-z0-9_-]+:.*($[  ].*)*=[         ]*($[    
]+)*"?[^"]*\.(vb[se]|ws[fh]|hta|shs|pif|(doc|txt|xls)\.)
* ^Subject:\/.*
