it was amusing that the header says
X-Junk-Mail-Rating: MEDIUM
The attachment was an HTML file which re-quoted the original
message but was encoded in base64 to render it nasty looking.
Several mailers on the list seen to use HTML or ASCII & RTF attachments to
quote or reply, these though a bit
annoying to non MIME aware mailers are _relatively_ benign as
the messages are usually small.
The no attachments rules are there to primarily deal with large binary
attachments which are deliberate, HTML & ASCII and RTF are mostly
configuration accidents, although they break the plain ASCII only rule. I
would counsel tolerance of the latter sort of infringement.
