Lest we start see vcard attachments as well. It depends on what sort of attachment is appended. It would be foolish to open an executable attached, but a lot of clients come default to attach email, when doing a follow up. Sameer -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Southwell Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 3:46 PM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Attachments request I wonder whether those who post to this list would consider to post without using attachments. It is a hassle to have to put stuff through a virus checker when reading a mail list - so unless there are very good reasons for not doing so I delete such mail list posting rather than read them. I would recomend that everyone thinks very carefully before opening attachments on mail lists - even one such as this - it is easy for people to masquerade as others.. My experience comes from having lost a lot of data due to a virus introduced from an attachment to list mail.
