In all fairness, he probably did that because he received a bounce 
notification, just like I did when I posted a .bz2... not from the list, 
but from the over-zealous AV filter of someone *subscribed to* the list 
(say, I thought such bounces were supposed to go to the list admin, not 
the list poster?).

...Meaning he failed to pay attention to where the e-mail came from and 
did, as you noted, spam the list with another half MB of attachment. The 
correct response would have been to a: ignore it (what I did), or b: 
send a follow-up suggesting that anyone that didn't get the attachment 
find it via the archives.
