Um - blocking viruses?
Is it a big issue? If an attachment comes through (like it did with this
particular one) the first thing that comes to mind is "I bet THAT'S a virus"
so I don't open it.
With the possibilities of viruses coming through email etc everyonne should
know NOT to open unknown attachments anyway.
If you use this group you should have enough common sense to not open these
things anyway.
Technology should not be seen as a replacement for common sense.
(Just my 2c)

But you can block all unsafe attachments in Outlook. And Y! just admitted
that their attachment checker can't detect UUencoded attachments.
