i said discard/bounce ... i bounce to people i consider friendly, to let them know i'm not accepting attachments. assuming i've config'd my server(s) correctly, i don't bounce to this list. i discard the messages out of hand. > up so far, I didn't see a .vbs or a .pif. calling a .pl or an rfc822 > attachment a risk is at least an over statement.

LIST mail, yes. attachments, no. but, you're absolutely right -- i can unsubscribe. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X against HTML email, vCards / \ & micro$oft attachments [GPG] OpenMacNews at gmail dot com fingerprint: 50C9 1C46 2F8F DE42 2EDB D460 95F7 DDBD 3671 08C6
