You also need to consider posting in plain text. please keep html for
websites, not for email. Lest we start see vcard attachments as well.

It depends on what sort of attachment is appended. It would be foolish to
open an executable attached, but a lot of clients come default to attach
email, when doing a follow up.

I wonder whether those who post to this list would consider to post without
using attachments. 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..

My experience comes from having lost a lot of data due to a virus introduced
from an attachment to list mail.
