Re: WARNING: VIRUS ATTACHED TO MESSAGE FROM Alexander Gutfraind <gutfrnd@tht.net>
First, it's a trojan, not a virus--get your terminology straight: virii
automagically execute and do their damage, trojans need intervention to
execute (Melissa virus indeed...). Secondly, as a trojan, you have to
execute it on a winbox, so there shouldn't be much problem on a Debian
list. Third, it ain't his fault--it takes over Outlook and sends a copy
with everything he sends. Fourth, thank God you didn't quote the entire
thing for whatever reason--happy99 is a "huge attachment by email" :P

When you are having a bad day, and it seems like everybody is trying to
tick you off, remember that it takes 42 muscles to produce a frown, but
only 4 muscles to work the trigger of a good sniper rifle.
Who is John galt? Galt@inconnu.isu.edu, that's who!
