I should point out that I did get a response from Sophos yesterday, and
they told me that these "executables" were just random noise, and
harmless. I'm still getting quite a few of these in my own mailbox (no
telling what my users get), approximately 3-4 per hour, so it's a bit
annoying. I still think it is strange that a well-formed ZIP-archive
contains bogus data, but Sophos are the experts, of course.
