However, I think it's a trifle disingenuous to say you "warned
everyone loudly" not to view it.  Such vague "warnings" actually seem
to be veiled incitements to view in my experience (at least from
Usenet)---a sort of subliminal "go on, I dare you..."

I'm just speaking for myself, but personally, I'd prefer an AVI
description of a hypothetical "dubious" file to be more along the
lines of "closeup of sharp spike being driven slowly into man's eye
before being crushed by a falling grand piano," than "YOU HAVE BEEN
WARNED."  I think the former lets me know better whether I want to
view the unknown attachment than the latter. :-)

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Paul.
