Sorry about the previous mail. Ctrl-Enter in Evolution surprised me
again, need to figure out how to disable it.

Actually, Linux is more secure even for user data than Windows is,
because Linux applications tend not to run random program code
downloaded from the net without even asking the user. Also, it helps
that security is not an afterthought in Unix-like systems.

Of course, Linux security could be improved quite a bit, but relative to
Windows, it is better.
