I'm using Outlook 2000 (its a work thing, ok) and I dont get it, but I do
get the "Wolves LUG mailing list" footers as an attachment on Howards
emails, and the body as an attachment (but the footers where the body should
be) in Ron's emails. Some people on the sblug list get similar mangling. 

Do you get weird files attached to mine?

Mime formatting, dont you just love it, didn't get this in the good ol'
days, mind you it was all plain text round here back then, didn't have any
of this new-fangled base64 stuff in my day. :-)
