which is the whole point
it's impossible to get them all catched with sgnatures because they
change all the time and so if you want to be sure you need to treat
every office macro as bad - they don't belong into emails these days
frankly i have seen companies blocking every .doc and .xls attachment
with a reject info that you should use .docx and .xslx becasue they
can't contain macros (would be .docm for the new formats)
