Does anyone else appreciate the irony of an email with multiple
attachments which condemns the use of attachments?
It's a bit disconcerting to get spam and virii on a mailing list, but I
agree with Chris. In three posts, we went from "filter viruses" to "BAN
ALL TEH ATTACHMENTS".
I'd rather filter on my end, anyhow. If I screw up and start deleting
messages that ought not be deleted, then I get pissed, learn something,
and fix myself. If somebody else screws up and deletes/munges messages
that ought not be deleted or munged, all I can do is get pissed.
I'm attaching my PGP sig. I hope that's alright with everybody. :-P
