Our e-mail content detector has just been triggered by a message you

One or more of the attachments (desktop 16 x 16.ico, desktop 32x32.ico,
desktop 32x32-1.ico, desktop 16 x 16-1.ico) are on the list of
unacceptable attachments for this site and will not have been delivered.

Consider renaming the files to avoid this constraint.

The virus detector said this about the message:
Report: Report: Possible buffer overflow in Windows (desktop 16 x
16.ico)
Report: Possible buffer overflow in Windows (desktop 32x32.ico)
Report: Possible buffer overflow in Windows (desktop 32x32-1.ico)
