I agree absolutely that the list should strip them. I'm surprised that the
list allows attachments at all, TBH. Most lists I'm on have stopped
accepting them now.

In terms of day-to-day use, are you suggesting that ZIPs should be blocked
by the mail servers? I'm involved in a fair bit of VBA development between
here and Spain at the moment. I can't email about VBA/XLA files for obvious
reasons, so at the moment I ZIP them.
