It has to do with Evelyn's post to the digest form of the Namron list, below:

She tried to send an attachment that was not text. It was removed, and
a copy was saved here if you want to look at it: 
<http://www.ansteorra.org/pipermail/namron/attachments/20050527/eb8b6bdb/attachment.gif>.
Hmmmm ... looks like an image to me. 

Generally it is not a good idea to send images to mailing lists; the 
operator may just scrub and quarantine them, or you may find that 
you no longer are permitted to post to the list. 

What can _you_, Pooky, do to change this? Convince people to stop 
sending images (.gif) and filecards (.vcf) as attachments when they
post to the list.
