Yes, we do block files that are
truly attached but this was sent as an html msg with an embedded
graphic which some email programs receive indicating there was an attachment.
This has triggered a renewed
effort to see if our listserv s/w will permit posting only of plain text msgs
(no html). Downside of that is that html is the default msg format when Outlook
is installed. As the most commonly used email program this may cause of lot of
technet postings to be rejected because of wrong msg type.
I concur with Joe's comment
that this was probably an automated update feature. However, the onus is on
anyone that installs such any kind of s/w to be aware of and evaluate the
consequences of their decision to permit the automated action.
In the long run, messages of
this type are often viewed as SPAM and will do more harm to the perception of a
company's image than a few contact updates can overcome.

I am pretty
certain that it was an inadvertent post. There are programs that go through
users mail lists and request updates from those on this list. This one was
likely just a simple error.
What is curious is how the
attachment/embedded graphic made it through. I thought there was a filter for
that.
