I would also like to add that it is easy to be the unwitting recipient
of one of these.  I personally was just trying to stop it from spreading
any further.  Someone one the list (probably chao) was infected and
passed it along.

It is easy to forget that this too could happen to you. :)

use non-windows platforms primarily. <grin>]

Joel. Thanks again.

I have answered privately to David Kott but in Spanish.

(David knows it very well but not a lot of people).

I don't demand "internet justice".
Only precautions with virus.
The spam policy is not my interest.

I am working on a Linux Mandrake 7.1 workstation but the mail workstation
is a Windows 2000 Proffessional with Outlook.
Perhaphs Win32 is 95% of O.S. at the world?
Perhaps is Cygwin32 a very good platform?
Perhaps ...

Cutting the virus, problem cutted.

The Spam, don't worry...
