am i missing something here?
because i realy do not see the issue.


Yes, you are
As far as I can see from the numerous postings on the list, the issue

isn't really recieving virii or anything else, it's the wasted 
time/bandwidth etc etc that comes from attatchments, and the costs
that

places on users who pay by the minute or by the megabyte. I
personally 
don't think attatchments should be stopped, but I believe that's the 
argument for their filtering?

      Having followed this list for the previous year, I can not say
that any and all possible attachments waste any more time than some of
the conversations that take place.  It gets ridiculous...  For me,
it's
down to about 1 of every 10 threads and 1 of every 25 posts that holds
any interest of useful information...  Those are approaching my
unusable
limits....
