These mails were wrongly caught by our virus filters; sorry about that.
As a workaround, if you include a proper Content-Type: with your
attachments this won't happen. I'll try to fix our .procmailrc when I
have some time. In the meantime I've reinserted your messages into the
queue by hand.

In future if you're reporting a problem to owner@bugs that you suspect
is due to the MIME structure of the mail then it might be a good idea
not to use the same MIME structure in your problem report mail. :)

Cheers,
