FYI - the bad wrapping above is caused by allowing PGP to reformat the
message when signing. For the best results, turn off wrapping in the
PGP preferences when using PGP with TB.

TB can be induced to send an email from an external command line
parameter but that is not the kind of virus that you are talking about
so, no - not really.

Pretty much.
