Guy,

The postgres guys have a patch list. Listen I don't want to beat this to
death. It was just a suggestion. Virii don't make it past my server, so
it doesn't really affect me..

Where else should somebody send, say, a patch for Ethereal?  (I sure
don't want every single patch to be sent to me....)

I don't see the difference between an attachment and a mail message,
other than size - and if people "work around" a ban on attachments by
uuencoding the file and including it in the body of the message, even
that difference goes away; they are, in effect, sending an attachment,
only in a form that's more of a pain to extract.
