Might I propose the simple solution that we block all .pif attachments?  
Maybe all exe, com, bat, scr, and vbs too while we're at it.  I can't 
think of any conceivable use for any of them (unlike png and diff, which 
are vital)

OTOH, are you *sure* that they're coming through RT?  Remember that this 
virus forges its "from" line.
