Damian, My interpretation of what JC is saying above is that basically he's agreeing with you, saying that you are making his point exactly; there's no intimation that you are an Outlook user. You've been around the lists for a while and are obviously an informed Linux user. Plus JC seems to be expressing some ire at the care anyone would have over a windoze machine with a virus, rather forcefully. ;) Which, I can understand his emotive state when it comes to windoze crap; it is the biggest case of mea culpa that there has ever been. The sheer stupidity of it all; if you dare to load the junk, you are just asking to be infected with a virus; and all the while the Linux users stand around grinning and shaking their heads, impervious to it all. Some of us feel that the more Winblows viruses, the better.
