And exclude attachments from private email, as well.

Doesn't private (company internal) email assume certain shared resources,
such as file servers? Doesn't emailing attachments essentially make one's
server a file server? And, frequently, these documents change and are
updated, requiring yet another email. Just send me a UNC or a URL, the
address of the document, or I will send the attacher some canned text on how
to avoid using attachments.

While I have a higher opinion of HTML for email than has been expressed,
since formatting can be our friend, so long as our clients support it, but I
seldom get an attachment that I could not just as well have gotten to some
other way.

It's a riot that an email virus, using the same exploit as ILOVEU (whose
approach was what? two years old?), could possibly have affected anyone!
Cures exist, and have existed for some time. Why isn't that in anybody's
news story? (And how are AV vendors stocks doing on this news?) Why is this
even news worthy? http://www.vmyths.com has some helpful skepticism to
offer.

I've been emailing those who have are infected and tried to send me this
virus a recommendation that they visit the microsoft site, and download the
security updates that make this a non-issue. So, when I get these, I open
the email, I quick view the attachment, if they haven't already been removed
by our AV scanners. It's just a script, and that means that it's just plain
text. What I cannot do, and do not do, is execute them.

It is ironic that I just worked on a little perl script (I don't even know
enough yet to be dangerous, and had  help from a list member) to
automatically email a small data file to a customer, and learned that
attachments are an illusion, a fiction of the software, but psychologically
satisfying in certain contexts. I can make a business case for some file
attachments, but it sure is the exception.
