This has started happening with increasing frequency. Emails containing
executable files as attachments are auto-removed. But in this case, it didn't
contain an executable per se, but rather a ZIPfile! That is an excess of
caution, and ridiculous. How do they propose that *any* executable file -- a
BATch file in this case!!! -- be sent to you, ever, by anyone? You need to
contact your ISP and tell them to worry about their own mail, and let you worry
about your's. It's none of their damn business -- no risk to them, no nothing
-- how dare they intercede like that. They're treating you like a child.

The message is here, and the files are downloadable from it (if, of course,
your ISP will let you download a dangerous ZIP file like this):
