I did, I even mentioned in parentheses what is inside it.  I get these
attachements everyday at my work, and I don't complain about them
usually, because its a windoze world here, and I choose my battles..
But when I receive .url attachements on a linux mailing list I do
complain, because I think it's a stupid M$ innovation, which only adds
needless complexity to something simple as a url.

True. Maybe I should have directed my flame more clearly against the
url, and not against the poster.
