I do not think banning the attachments is a good idea. This list is also used to 
discuss source code which is usually an attachment. Maybe they should have a virus 
scan before any email is added to the list.

And this "Tang Yuguan [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]" guy doesnt seem to be fixing his computer. 
we got the same virus from him few weeks back. Maybe ban him.

Easiest way is for the list admins to ban attachments to the list. They
either get stripped or the email gets bounced completely. The listserv
software that Sun is using for this list, it is just a one line config
change (if it's the software I think they are using!). Coincidently that
would also get rid of all attachments like images and large code chunks
and that would make me very happy too :)

As usual, hassle the list admins (easiest to find at
archives.java.sun.com) or at least see if we can get one of the J3D team
(maybe Micheal) to hassle the list admins....
