The server doesn't strip attachments. There are multiple reasons on why
it should strip them and there are equally the same number of reasons why
it shouldn't strip them. I unfortunately can't find the origional message
so I can not see why it made it through. We do try to prevent spam, and
viruses from making the list. We obviously missed one and for that I'm
sorry.
