Yes, you are
As far as I can see from the numerous postings on the list, the issue 
isn't really recieving virii or anything else, it's the wasted 
time/bandwidth etc etc that comes from attatchments, and the costs that 
places on users who pay by the minute or by the megabyte. I personally 
don't think attatchments should be stopped, but I believe that's the 
argument for their filtering?
