I agree with David on this.  He is volunteering his time and computer for this list.
Asking him to do this type of work is a burden on him that is not necessary or
fair to David.  I think that we should not allow attachments - having a Macintosh,
I can't usually read any of the attachments created on PC's anyway.  I NEVER open attachments
anyway unless they come from someone I am expecting to get one from.  The good
thing about being on the Mac is that most of these viruses don't effect the Mac
only the PC's.   We also have a good virus checker - but I still don't open attachments that I don't know what is in them.  I think going to a web site is a good choice.  There may be a few 
members with email that don't have access
to the internet but I would suspect that the percentage would be very small.
