Sorry that's a GnuPG thing, my sig file is correct, just missed a setting.

Why would I want to revise my statement?  What I said is true regardless
of whatever operating system you're using.  A virus is just a file and
it will not infect a system until it's opened.  Just merely copying,
uploading or downloading it will not activate the virus.  Viruses that
are spread through email are the result of opening the attached virus
infected file, not reading the email itself.

Well then turn off email scanning, it really a redundant feature and is
not necessary.  You don't get a virus just by uploading or downloading a
file, it's when you try to open it or run it is when you get infected.
The resident virus protection is all you really need as it will detect
the virus when you open or run the file, and then prevent it from
infecting your machine.  That is if your virus definitions are up to date.

If the Beta is any resemblance of what the released product will be
like, then you'll really like it.  IMHO it's what Vista should have been...

Does IE Tab work in Seamonkey?  I know when I'm using Firefox on my
Windows XP partition with IE Tab I can go to Windows Update and have it
work.
