Not really. The only viruses that come in message bodies are IE
script-based ones. It would be possible to write one for The Bat! by
exploiting an buffer overflow. Hard, but doable.

Sure. As a text string, even a real virus could not do anything.
Although I tried to paste it in here, and the mailing list server
refused it...

of course, message body is not sent to antivirus plugin, because You
can't be infected by it, only attachments are checked.
