the next project on every programmer's to-do list

Since there's no polite way to tell friends, "Please don't send me any email forwards that are stupid. I don't mind the rest of them, but the stupid ones make me want to throw darts at you," someone ought to design an email filter that would weed out anything (ANYTHING!) that has an animated gif of a squirrel tapping its foot and playing the harmonica, to the tune of an embedded MIDI file written in 1994 on someone's XT. I don't know why this hasn't already been developed.
