There's no telling what an attachment contains these days;
A simple check of the message source is sufficient to preclude virus etc.
But why should people have to do that? A simple check of the source in, say, Outlook might be enough to fire off a worm these days -- why make people risk it when inline plain text isn't a question at all?
Just say no to mailing list attachments -- if you have a document longer than can reasonably fit into an email, put it on the web & post a URL.
