1. What it was attached to isn't an email.
2. All it proves (if that) is that the email (or ...) was fine when it
left you, not when it reached us.
3. I've yet to be aware of any malware that can be included in a
text-only post (or indeed email).
4. (I think this is the one that bugs some people most!) it's preceded
by "---" rather than "-- ", which isn't a proper .sig delimiter, which
means that (for those with software that knows about such things) they
have to remove it manually from any followup/reply.

Well, you did ask (-:

Ditto to all of the above, and most important to me, it just clutters
up the post, and makes it longer, taking longer to read.

Yes, it makes it only slightly longer, but I spend a lot of time in my
newsreader, in many newsgroups, and if you add up all the little
things that make messages slighter longer, it becomes significant.
Anything that reduce the time is good.

And another more minor point, your points above, especially 1 and 4,
make a lot of people lose their confidence in Avast, a company that
doesn't know both these things.

I think they did that on purpose, to get people to spread their spam.

It's an insult to the intelligence of smart people, and a dangerous
lie to stupid people.
