Personally... I do think that attachments shouldn't be blocked. I'm on dialup myself and have no problem with them... I joined this list knowing that there'd be attachments and for a list of this volume (Not much usually) it's not a big deal. If you want a list that doesn't give attachments join one of the moderated bugtraq lists. I'm sure you'll enjoy it there anyhow... Further... A virus email is an avg of 25K ish... Meanwhile a non-clipped email (Other emails tagged to the bottom/etc) are 15+KB. That's only 10 more KB added to an email(Adds maybe 2 seconds to my downloading time. And that's if I'm not using a compressed dialup connection. Otherwise... 1 second to download that... Same as any other email.). "Big deal" I think... There aren't many virus sends daily/weekly either. ~
You're the second person that has suggested this. I'm amazed by the insensitivity. If the shoe was on the other foot, would you be content to peruse the archives?
