Yeah, I knew that. Hence the "need" for AntiVirus for Mac from Norton. I figure if someone with a Windows machine fails to protect themselves from a threat embedded in an eMail my Linux or Mac machine happens to receive, and I forwarded it to said target Windows machine, it is not my problem. I have done what I can to protect myself. I am not going to purchase "protection" on my Linux/Mac machinery to help protect other folks from themselves. But, then again, I do not run an email service. If I did I am certain I would think differently about it.
