Stripping MIME attachments at FW-1

Has anybody successfully managed to implement stripping executable
attachments from mail using a SMTP security server on FireWall-1 running
under Solaris. I have tried and failed. Using a mime type of "application",
the result is that incoming mail that has any kind of attachment is blocked
until I disable the rule in the security policy.

Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.
Many thanks
