Re: OT Lots of Nasty Spam

Yes, I was aware of that attack. These all have different titles. Come 
to think of it none have attachments. Thunderbird and AVQ seem to be 
stripping them off. Just checked my anti-virus log it shows no viruses 
found. Seems like the combination of AVQ, Spybot, and Thunderbird is 
working really well to keep my system clean.

Attackment, I like it, the word that is not the thing it refers to.

There's a new worm running that supposedly disguises itself as a
security notice from Microsoft.  They might be coming from that attack.
