It's my understanding that the FOT, Vintage-race and Mark's other
autox.team.net mailing lists do NOT forward attachments to list members.
Attachments sent to the list are stripped off by the server and replaced by
a line of text:
[demime 0.97c removed an attachment of type application/zip which had a
name of [filename]]
But if someone sends a separate copy of an email with an attachment directly
to a named list member, THAT copy doesn't go through the list server, and
the attachment will not be removed from THAT copy.
If you received an email from a list member with an infected attachment, the
odds are that the list member's computer is infected and he/she is probably
not aware of it.
