If I got this, I must have deleted it as uninteresting. Since I'm using
a mailer (sylpheed) that groups attachments, html, pgp and other crap
(yes, before you ask, I include pgp in that category, just more trash I
have to look at whether I want it or not) on the right side of the
window, unless there's something to prompt me in the text, I would never
see the garbage.

It's only occasionally that this type of #$@! gets through to this list
or any list I subscribe to. Since I don't run a M$Crap system where
viruses might be dangerous, it's a big deal as far as I'm concerned - a
tempest in a teapot.  That's why the delete button was invented.  

If you can do anything about this from an admin standpoint, feel free to
do so. I suppose you could scan the archives, look for respondents with
an M$Crap mailer, and ask them to check their machines.

Whatever you do, please don't unsubscribe me from the list. I value the
input enough that I can tolerate the (very) occaional bit of spam. Even
the most draconian spam filters will let something slip through.
