Viruses in file attachments.

Dave Carothers is quoted in the Wash Tech section of today's Washington
Post as follows:

"Don't open any file attached to e-mail, from anyone, without first
scanning the file using a good, current, anti-viral product."

To follow his advice, should scanning be applied to the attachment
before it is decoded from Mime, before the decoded attachment is
unZIPped, or after it is unZIPped? And can PC-Yarn be configured to do
this?

Thanks for your comments.
