email inserted in a blob field

Hi,
I am planning on customize e-mail logging funcionality to log in nav emails not stored in exchange server. The customization should be based on standard Microsoft Outlook 12.0 Object Library Automation to retreive from outlook some emails the user places in a certain tray (so the mails "imported" are choosen by the user). Then, the automation creates a .msg file and inserts it into a BLOB field in the attachments table.
The question is about security: Do you think security on the sql database server could be compromised by this? Could a malware get into a blob field inside the sql database to activate a virus attached to an outlook inserted msg?

Attaching original mail in responses is mandatory.
Storing into a blob is the only way to store it, but I haven't used blob data type at all.
I know there could be many workarrounds, but my question is about security for the server: the entire incoming mail will be stored in a blob field of sql server. How is risk-level of having a malware activating this email inside the server?
