Indeed. Those attached messages are mime type  message/rfc822  -- 
attached e-mail message. Since Yahoo does not permit binary attachement 
in any of HP4GU groups, those messages should be safe.

On the related note I never seen such broken implementation of spam 
filter in my whole career. What an icompetent fool designed that 
messaged are to be _attached_  not marked by changing headers. It is so 
broken, that even Microsoft wouldn't design something like that (I hope).
