An interesting thing I have noticed recently is that vsnl servers are scanning outgoing emails for virus affected attachement and deleting them. I have got recently, quiet a few messages, which have passed through vsnl (either inwards or outwards), where the main virus affected attachment is deleted, converted into a simple txt file.
It is arguably bad for VSNL to do this. They (probably) mean well, but they are an ISP. They must not interfere with traffic at that level. Drop the message, bounce it, but never ever alter it in that way. They may alter the email headers, perhaps, add:
X-VSNL-Found-Virus: virus file name
