I wouldn't call it "program like behavior."  They just contain both metadata 
and rendering data in the same file (as I understand it.)

Renaming the file to something like ".gif" or ".jpg" could still cause 
execution if loaded from a file, but only if the Picture and Fax Viewer was the 
default program for those file types.  From a browser, for WP&FV to open it and 
parse the data, it has to be that MIME type (again, as I understand
it.)

While I've read here that the "way to do it" is how GFI does it, I've still not 
seen any information on why simple content filtering won't work.  But then 
again, I read where Jim is working with MSRC to come up with a "workable" 
filter.  It would be nice to get some authoritative, detailed information on 
why MIME and file type filtering *won't* work.

Hi Tim,

Don't know about that, but it's a good question. But I have to wonder about 
other apps that  open the WMF files. FWIU, WMF files have some program like 
behavior that allow it to call other programs if something doesn't work.

How's that as a erudite description for a process? :)
