That doesn't help when the infecting agent (zip file attached to email) 
is password protected. I have yet to see an email virus scanner that can 
open a password protected archive.

Now, I'm not saying that what you are telling us to do is wrong, or in 
any way a bad thing. I just thought I'd add that it's not a silver 
bullet. :)
