I just sent out the Ben Cohen animation: 
http://www.e-tractions.com/content/truemajority/oreo/faf/tmlogo.gif
explaining the Federal Budget in Oreo Cookies.

It bounced.

Below is an example of one of two things:

1>  .zip files do NOT and can NOT contain viri or other forms of malware, or

2>  anti-spam software is teaching the bad guys how to get around and past the
anti-spam software.

I yearn for the day when eternal vigilance doesn't have to be quite so bloody 
vigilant!

"Eternal Vigilance" is supposed to mean citizens watching their Governments,
not the other way around....
