Interesting. Our management recently suggested a "default deny" policy
for file extensions. Quite tempting, considering the state of M$ insecurity.
I hate to think how many dangerous filetypes are not on our banned list.

Of course, outside of the M$ world these are arbitary file names. A unix
user might be mailing yesterday's results in a file called "results.thu"
and get blocked. Not really practical here.
