File attachments will no longer be allowed through the discussion list. The filter will also enforce the "plain text messages only" rule. Email messages sent as MIME attachments or HTML mail will be rejected (these types of emails include the message body as an attachment...hence the filter rejects them). If you send messages as or with attachments you will receive a notice from the list server advising you that attachments are not permitted and that you should resend their messages as "plain text" messages. Implementation of this filter will greatly reduce the possibility of virus infected messages being passed through the discussion lists. It will similarly reduce the possibility of virus infected messages being part of the archives. Please note that virus infected messages currently do exist in the list server archives. If you have you subscriptions set to DIGEST format, you may receive infected messages when the next digest format message is sent from the list server so beware. Once the filter is in place infected messages shouldn't make it into the list server archives (or the on-line HTML archives for that matter). Our computer person will attempt to remove the infected messages from the list server archive.
