Thanks for posting what was in the zip. I never opened it to see.
No thanks from me - I thought it was a waste of bandwith. And why two people thought it was necessary to requote the whole thing I can't begin to imagine.
Having the virus containing posts within the list archive is probably not a good thing to have. If people that are running windows happen onto the site and open the attachments, it would not help with attempting to increase Linux usage numbers. That is, unless you tell them to download the installation iso files, instruct them on how to burn the CDs, before reading the archives.
Was it established that it came from the list. Virus infected emails usually spoof the from address. Is it actually in the archives?
