No, because I don't know what the listmasters prefer. I only know that *I* as postmaster for a university prefer to get spam-mails forwarded via attachement because it keeps the original mail as intact as possible and I can really easily automagically extract the original mail and use the necessary tools on them. (Yes, I could also grab the message directly from the mail storage, but legal hurdles prevent me from doing this.) I just wanted to counter Andreis claim that by forwarding you couldn't distinguis between attached/wrapped mails and other attachments. As you said: only the Debian listmaster can answer the question how their workflow prefers the spam to be sent in. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
