A NOC or abuse desk that figuratively puts its hands over its eyes by blocking a signficant subset of trouble reports is arguably as useless as one that is hit by a virus. The most clueful reports are going to be the ones with some evidence attached or included. I think the point was that there are some other alternatives between the two opposing extremes of bouncing all email with text attachments on the one hand and leaving yourself completely unprotected on the other.
