Sigh. I wonder how long it will be before Msoft figures a way to embed
auto-executable scripting into .TXT files? "Bugtraq: remotely
executable BO exploit found in MS Notepad!"

You'd have to add .MP3 to $MANGLE_EXTENSIONS first, then you could
either poison or strip .mp3 files.

  In 1998 more than three times as many people in the US were killed
  by incompetent physicians than were killed by handguns, yet the
  President of the A.M.A. is adopting "gun safety" as his platform.
