    Last time I did the experiment, about 5 mail gateways sent a bounce
    due to a .zip that couldn't be scanned.  (That's bounces to the list,
    mind you.  If someone else does the post, then I only get to see
    messages that complain to every CC.  So, the poster might see
    more, but the ratio ought to hold still.)
