You are grossly misinformed. Why do not you look at http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel%40lists.lyx.org/msg37283.htm and the thread starting with http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg30438.html The proposed method would also eliminate viruses... At the time, it did not look timely to implement it, though. > -run antivirus software. amavis is one package, but it acts only as > an interface to a scanner(see amavis.org) Some products, like Trend > Interscan, already have mail scanning capabilities.

Let me reiterate: I do feel responsible for making discussions on the LyX lists as pleasant as possible, and I am doing everything to achieve this. But if people accuse me of ruining their computer, it needs pointing out that the average message hops through 9 mail servers from sender to receiver. My server is only one of them. So if you send me an angry note, please also send one to each of the other 8 postmasters starting with your ISP's. Please take spam/virus discussions to the list set up for this purpose: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mate
