Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gnus doesn't extract attachments
automatically, does it? And when you do extract an attachment
inentionally, Gnus *always* offers you the filename for editing. I guess
we can call that "explicitly initiating the action". And beyond that, I
don't really see why Gnus should *prevent* anything.
Perhaps an additional confirm request for certain filenames would do no
harm, but if you do that, also create a variable
'gnus-article-confirm-save-to-suspicious-files-p', because I, for one,
don't want Gnus to be asking that question.
