Just to remind people that it is essentially impossible to send a virus
on this list since it requires plain text only, and even viruses that
are encoded in plain text (a possibility, rare nowadays) are found and
rejected. A nuisance for some (the infamous "unacceptable MIME type"
from the list server), but safety for all.

If you can post to the list, you know that at least list-bound email
doesn't have a virus, and that implies a very good possibility that
you're not sending viruses to anyone.
