There are number of Unix email clients that allow this as well.  Best I

The sysadmin seems to have done an ok notification to me.  This paragraph
states that MIMEDefang removed some things it thought was in violation
(specifically it pointed out vCard was being filtered and the reason was
perceived security risk).  The link it gave had a nice FAQ that answered
most end user questions.
