Jan - this is because of the 'Spoofing' of email addresses that present
SPAM to the list. Brian indicated it is cause by free email address
providers who are known for SPAM.
DMARC, which stands for “Domain-based Message Authentication,
Reporting & Conformance”, is anemail authentication
<https://dmarc.org/wiki/Glossary#Email_Authentication>protocol.
This message was added to your email (and others) to explain why the
sent email was made an attachment instead of providing straight text.
The original message to the list is in the attachment.
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.
I think this could be resolved by converting all emails received to the
list to 'plain text' and not permitting attachments to be included.
This would be in the settings of the ListServe and not something that
could be managed by subscribers.
This is the only list (and I am subscribed to many) that I have this
problem with. And since I am often cautious (like many other people on
this list) about opening attachments, I often miss comments from
subscribers.
BTW - I just checked why I was not receiving many email (maybe 1 or 2 a
day or every couple of days) and found a bunch of email with this DMARC
attachment quarantined by my host service. If I had not checked the
webmail, I never would have known the number of discussions I missed.

Why do all my emails from this group show the icon for an attachment?
