Based on the information in the alert you posted, it seems 
pretty clear Skip did not overtly send an attachment.  The 
note we all saw is the nature of the worm's propagation
mechanism -- look at the headers and you'll see very clear 
differences between the message Skip sent and the message 
sent by the worm.  So, while annoying to us and probably a 
little embarrassing to Skip, the worm episode is a far cry 
from the repeated and deliberate bullshit vickirandy's been 
inflicting on the list.
