Fact: The list strips attachments (Doug has confirmed this) 

Fact: no one received a virus from the list, it just looked like it came from 
the list (spoofed address). 

I receive viruses from my own addresses every day and I don't run any MS 
internet mail clients or servers. And I don't believe that I've missed a 
message from the list excepting when my email box has been saturated.

I don't have a clue why you are missing so many emails but I doubt it's to do 
with the list server. Maybe it's your Apple Mail client rejecting MS initiated 
posts :-)

PS That last bit was a joke.
