I can assure you, this is not the case.  The list manager removes the
attachments and converts everything to plain text.  There is no virus
in Michael's message.  That does not mean that his computer is not
infected, but even it it is, it does not come through to the list.  So
feel free to respond.

Btw. this text conversion is the also the reson why you should insert
line breaks into your emails, if possible avoid lines longer than 70
characters.  Most email programs can do this automatically if you set
some checkmark somewhere in some menu or preferences window.
