I gather somebody mentioned that the list mail gets run through 
procmail, so quite likely it _can_ selectively filter attachments. For 
example I'd consider just stripping ".exe" ".bat" ".vbs" ".scr" ".com" 
etc (windows executable files) and maybe text/html.

If its a choice between not stripping attachments and stripping all of 
them, including sigs for those who want to use them, I'm all for 
stripping everything. I would prefer to leave _potentially_ useful 
attachment types in if possible, of course. Anyway, I've said all I want 
to on this issue and won't bug the list about it any further. Either it 
gets taken to the committee or it doesn't  and I'm personally not too 
fussed either way.
