This allows people to still transport these but they have to go through a extra step of saving these as a different name and opening the application to read these. Usually those steps provide the "thinking pause" necessary to realize what is legit or not.
Is there any concern about invalidating pgp/smime signed messages by altering the name of attachments? I would prefer not to alter the body of email messages if it can be avoided and I'd like know how others think.
