It is a hassle to have to put stuff through a virus checker when reading a mail list - so unless there are very good reasons for not doing so I delete such mail list posting rather than read them. I would recomend that everyone thinks very carefully before opening attachments on mail lists - even one such as this - it is easy for people to masquerade as others..
