Yes, the attachment will still be there, but I think (though I didn't try it) if you open it with a text editor it will just have some "Binary attachments are not allowed listguru_at_fatcity.com" type message, as this happens with pdf's etc. as well.

The only attachments that are legible on this list AFAIK are .sql files, all others get stripped as above..

I got the one that Craig sent out the notice on.

from Chris as well but there WAS an attachment... AvrilLavinge.exe I sent it to our help desk, who scanned the attachment and it came back clean, so "we" are dismissing it... but it did give me great pause because there was an attachment.

Just had a virus come in to the list via chris.guidry_at_atcoelectric.com (who I've copied directly, so "heads up Chris" ;)).

The virus is WORM_LIRVA.A, I didn't get infected (thankfully attachements are stripped).. More details about the worm can be found here:
