That depends on what you want to do with the attachments. How do you
process them? Simple text files for example are unable to contain virusses
and are thus harmless.
Thats wrong. For example HTML is a simple text-file too, but still can
contain javascript-code and whatever flaws it may have.
It seems I oversimplified in my explenation; the point I was trying to
make was that you still need to execute it before a virus can infect
anything. Javascript needs to be executed. If you don't execute it,
nothing can happen.
