You need to check your system Franki since you sent with:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0)
X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4807.1700
Importance: Normal
WHICH is a guaranteed virus transmission propagater to other
Windoze users, and pretty much fsck'ups the Net in general, even
fellow Linux users who have to put up with the damage y'all
propulgate to Net servers, and the stolen banwidth y'all suck up.
I dunno how to convince y'all NEVER connect to the Net with, any
M$ product. There is no way to secure or defend an M$ system.
(period). You can only buy/beg/borrow a bunch of ineffective
firewalls and virus scanners for M$ crap. Then, the only thing you've
accomplished is to fool yourself.
If you dual boot, delete anything Winblows has to do with
connecting to the Net, unplug the phone line. Then you've got some
security, at least till you buy a CD or floppy with a winblows virus
on it. Buy a real modem and use a real OS to connect.
It amazes me that some people who do run Linux (part time), believe
that connecting with Windoze is a good, or even tolerable idea.
Specially on this (Linux) list. Winsux virus warnings to this list
are OFF TOPIC, immaterial, and border on ridiculous. Post these
warnings to (ignorant, computer illiterate) Winblows users lists and
newsgroups. You'll be very busy on a daily basis ... mostly you'll
be weeks, even months and years behind
Jeez, in a perfect world, Winblows users wouldn't be allowed to
connect.
... there ought'a be a law
