I'm aware but the message was sent to the mailing list and it's the mailing list that removes attachments. I suppose some Usenet servers might strip or reject articles that look like binaries, don't really know. I do think it extremely unlikely a beginner would send a Usenet post except maybe via Google Groups but that interface doesn't do attachments AFAIK. As the mailing list has moderators and they have recently flexed their muscles by outright banning people I'm hoping they would stop these attachment posts too. This would stop the oft repeated responses that attachments are stripped which I find annoying. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
