OT - "HTML attachment was scrubbed"

[Lewis Bloch]

I often see messages on this list that read only (for example):

then no message whatsoever.

What does that signify?
Does the "URL" notation mean that the 'attachment.htm' is visible on the 
archives?

Just a WAG, but is this a result of using HTML email to post to the list?
An inevitable result?

This could be anti virus or spam software removing the HTML before
delivering the message to you. HTML e-mail is strongly associated with a
message being spam and some viruses and worms can be spread be HTML e-mails.

A pain, but a reason to only post in plain text.
