Ouch. Pity this message wasn't simply discarded (or at least manually reviewed) before it was distributed to the list :-( Hmm, it also appears to have successfully masqueraded as being sent by Tom. oh well. I guess that there's not much that tomsrtbt can do about it :)
Really, the list should just reject _ALL_ multipart or non text/plain messages. I do this on other (large) lists I manage, and it's very effective at keeping cruft off of lists - stuff some people intentionally post (pics, HTML mail, vcards, etc), and stuff that wasn't intentionally sent.
If there's ever a real need to send a file, people have places to post them on http or ftp, and just post the URL.
Tom - when you have some time, feel free to contact me offlist for specific insights. It's the least I can do to repay you for rtbt.
--- Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies. I'll get my copy from the list.
