Glad to know it wasn't me!
I noticed similar behavior on lists hosted at python.org, too. I host
some lists and they don't appear to have been affected. What anti-virus
are you using? I use clam, controlled by amavisd.
I'm willing to donate an hour or two to the cause of sifting through the
mail file if you want.
