    Why is list-wide screening fundamental, exactly? This is a full
    disclosure list, meaning people can and will talk about things like
    viruses. If you've got something filtering out possibly "infected"
    emails, you may very well have problems with false positives. I think
    that we're all big boys and girls here, and I think we're all pretty
    capable of running secure email clients (read: not outlook) and
    antivirus software (for those of us that run windows). I think things
    should stay as they are, let us handle what should be filtered and what
    shouldn't be.
