List Admin - attached graphics

[Bob Johnson]

TNX Dave for addressing this annoying problem.
Here is what I do when I receive an UNWANTED attachment:
1) delete the message WITHOUT reading it
2) Delete the attachment from the attach sub directory
3) Scan for any Virus that might be attached
4) IF PO'd enough, send a NASTY reply to the sender of the attachment pointing
out
   his/her LID like behavior and resemblance to a certain bodily orifice.
