Yes. The posting on the list actually had the attachment stripped off by the
RIT mail system - in any case I did not send that message and you should 
delete it although it has been rendered harmless ... as far as I know.

The problem with intercepting this particular kind of message automatically is
that probably the point of origin is buried in the header. The list's server
program has the feature whereby messages can be intercepted/ignored based on
the sender's address but in this instance the sender's address appeared to be
mine and so the server let it through - but the mail system stripped the
attachment before that.
