The problem with bounce messages is that they go to who the message says is the sender, not necessarily to who the actual sender was, so create a back-scatter issue. The list software also does a lot more than just strip attachments, it appears that it also strips out (or maybe converts) html formatted messages and just passes on plain text messages. As someone who runs another list using the same software, a LOT of people don't understand this restriction and a far portion of the messages to the list are sent as HTML formatted, so rejecting rather than just stripping these would make a lot of people unhappy/confused. A lot of people also have little graphic included in their base message as signatures, etc, that naturally get stripped out in the conversion to plain text. -- Richard Damon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm aware but the message was sent to the mailing list and it's the mailing list that removes attachments. I suppose some Usenet servers might strip or reject articles that look like binaries, don't really know. I do think it extremely unlikely a beginner would send a Usenet post except maybe via Google Groups but that interface doesn't do attachments AFAIK. As the mailing list has moderators and they have recently flexed their muscles by outright banning people I'm hoping they would stop these attachment posts too. This would stop the oft repeated responses that attachments are stripped which I find annoying. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Just curious, but wouldn't it be better to just reject messages with attachments instead of silent removal?
