Barry,
I for one hate to see anyone leave the list for any reason. I know the list
filters all attachments so viruses cant be coming from this list.
I currently also get alot of mail with attachments. I only open attachments from
people I know and trust.
As soon as the new linux kernel is released, I will be upgrading from Windows to
Linux. Most viruses currently only affect Windows or NT type systems. I am
hoping
that Linux users will have better things to do with their time and not choose to
trespass on our systems.
I also can not for the life of me understand why some people choose this method
of entertainment. What possible gratification could one draw from destroying
another computer? I am waiting for the time when one of these jerks gets life in
Fort Leavenworth Prison for spreading a virus.

P.S. Have you tried installing virus detectors? You can configure your email
software to always pass the attachment through the virus software before opening
the applicable application.
