Its not just you it doesn't like, my message (sent 28 Jan 2004) with 
a Python script (plain text with a .py extension) was also held for 
moderator approval because:

"Message has a suspicious header"

(I cancelled it and sent the script in the body rather than as an 
attachment)

Perhaps as a compromise, we should allow a few "harmless" attachment 
types like .txt, .py and .diff (and continue to block things like 
.exe and other windows executables).
