I'm sorry here, but I would have to say Marco did no ill behaviour. The rest of the world out there aren't mind readers, nor do they conveniently have a smorgasbord of email etiquette URLs to match up with every developer to which they are replying. You solicited some information which was provided as a textual attachment by someone legitimately trying to honestly give you assistance. If your email / listserv reader has difficulties with these attachments, I suggest upgrading. I hear openSUSE 11.4 has a number of fine applications which would function nicely in this regard ;) If, for whatever reason you're scared of a virus or rogue attachment, you may consider running your web browser and email client in a VirtualBox session, snapshotting it before you read something possibly nefarious, and reverting back if something went wrong. I think that level of suspicion is extreme, but I've been known to do it with some binary-only applications.
