All MIME emails should be rejected

This email is akin to spamming a list. Is there a list admin around here who can
apply filters, and filter out MIME emails? I cannot spend a lot of time reading
these to begin with, it would be helpful to have them filtered so we can all
read, faster. Last option is to leave the list, and I just don't want to do
that.

It's no use trying to tell ppl to send text-only..I would like to think some
know better. Others are just ignorant.

FYI,

If you do an nslookup of windowsupdate.com, you will see that M$ pulled the
IP today (also sent an advisory out). I did some testing in the lab and the
DOS will not trigger because the infected box can not resolve
windowsupdate.com (not www.windowsupdate.com or windowsupdate.microsoft.com,
just plain old windowsupdate.com).

H:\>nslookup
Default Server:  mice.emc.com
Address:  10.10.10.10

windowsupdate.com
Server:  mice.emc.com
Address:  10.10.10.10

Name:    windowsupdate.com



See nothing, but just wait until the next version when the DOS target is all
of the M$ sites. Okay, now everyone back to patching!!!
