I've managed to copy the 1.2.2 ebuild to 1.2.3 (ie /usr/local/portage/net-mail/renattach/renattach-1.2.3.ebuild) and installed the latest 1.2.3 version (which is not in portage).  It seems to work OK.  According to their website it is not longer maintained.  It still seems to get used a bit though.

"WARNING: THIS SOFTWARE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. IT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.
 The author recommends that you do not depend upon renattach to filter emails for dangerous content. As of 2006, renattach used on its own is not enough to filter potentially harmful emails. Dangerous attachments, or other attacks, may pass through the filter undetected. Please switch from renattach to some other actively developed security system. [2006-03-19]"

Good candidate for removal. xmerlin, it's you pleasure ;]
