There's no way to configure the list to block attachments. So we will
have to live with it.
There should be zero problem if people will use the same precautions
with nafex email that they do with all the other email
they receive, i.e. spam with virii.
Since posting to the list is limited to legitimate subscribers then
there should be little problem unless someone is virus infected and
doesn't
know it. If you are still worried then set your user config to not
receive mail from the list and read the forum in its web-based message
archive.
