I want to pipe all incoming messages with attachments through a virus scanner. How can I instruct a KMail filter to only work on e-mails with attachments?
Why bother. These viruses will not hurt you running linux.

Hi John, Why bother? Because there are so many of them, because each mail is >100kbyte in size, because it slows down my mail downloads, because it inflates my local maildir files, because it pushes my Mbytes/month over the max. allocated by my ISP, because I don't want to inadvertenly forware anything to people still using Windows and finally because all of this is even worse for people still using a modem. So, this is why I activated POP filtering (to delete infected mails on the server before downloading) and I want to add antivirus scanning for anything with an infected attachment that does come through (so that I'll know how to adapt the POP filtering). And finally, it's only a matter of time before we'll also get Linux virusses a plenty. That's why I bother.
