Here's another one.  This time the routing is more creative and avoids
the sites that everyone knows about.  I am now getting this stuff sent
directly by e-mail.  The same has been used to attack the bridge-laws
mailing list.  

This is an example of why people avoid opening attachments to messages. 
There is two important corollaries:
1) If you want to keep your system, avoid opening attachments
2) If you want people to answer your questions, do not use attachments
