Title:
  file reports office trash files as .exe-ms

Status in “file” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When unzipping Office XML Files e.g. XLSX there ist a subfolder
  [trash]  containig a file called e.g. 0000.dat.

  XLM Structure is describet here:  http://www.ecma-
  international.org/news/TC45_current_work/Office%20Open%20XML%20Part%201%20-%20Fundamentals_final.docx

  the 0000.dat file ist detected as a a ms-exe.

  The problem ist in combination with amavisd-new on our mailservers
  that will block the xlsx as file classiefies the attachement as
  executable.

  The only solution seemes to disable the use of file completely on our
  mailservers
