Re: Attachments on this mailing list (was Re: RE: [ga] Encrypted document)

You need to check the origin of the email, not the FROM.  I've scanned 
my machine several times using different scanners and have not found a 
virus infected file.  I also do not send attachments to lists.  It's 
more likely to be a spoofed email.
