good point.

okay - maybe, if all content has been stripped, then maybe an email 
should be sent back to the originator explaining why this has happened, 
with points on how to avoid it happening in future.

Although, of course, this may be a problem if the originator was not a 
human, but a zombie, but in that case, I'd say "stop using windows, you 
victim, you".
