For most ISPs the list software can simply modify the message header and
resend the mail to subscribers.
Some ISPs like Yahoo.com have decided to impose DMARC policies (no I do
not know what they are so please do not ask). The impact of those on
mailing lists means that mail to mailing lists from subscribers using
yahoo.com cannot be modified when re-transmitted as a mail message from
the list. Our software does that by making the original message from
those subscribers an attachment to a message from the list.
As we explain in the text of the messages (which we added so you do not
get an empty message with just an attachment) it is the subscriber from
ISPs with this DMARC policy who has to change providers to avoid having
their messages converted to attachments. We even give suggestions on who
they can use but we do not force them to change.

Can someone please explain why posts from subscribers are now coming the
attachments to the email? Many people (including myself) are very
cautious about opening attachments from a ListServ where attachments are
not generally permitted.
Thank you

This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy
imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages
without conversion to attachments should use a different email address
for their subscription.
Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require
this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com. Many other email
providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.
