The administration setting for b-hebrew is for *no* attachments to be 
allowed. Nor for html to be allowed (scripts that do Bad Things can be 
embedded in html). This has never been permitted. If the email came 
directly from ibilio.org's servers, then I need to inform them their 
list software isn't working. But I have received no email attachments 
from b-hebrew.

One possibility is that the message sent to you was sent directly from 
another reader. Or the return address was "spoofed" as if it came from 
b-hebrew.

If you like, you can forward the message to me -- including all the 
Internet headers, and I can evaluate it.

Blessings,
