I don't trust attachments unless they're from someone I know, and if I'm
not expecting them, I often e-mail back asking, "Hey, did you just send
me file X with an e-mail?"
Deleting the attachment I'm *expecting* so that I can print out the
document and fax it, when I have access to a fax machine and my friend
doesn't, is not at all helpful. :)
