There are some other attack vectors.  For example you download an audio

(thunderbird?) started things.

I was under the impression that codecs were executables and as such, OS specific. I presume that a Windows codec/trojan could run under wine if you have it installed, but would it be able to do any damage? Enquiring minds want to *KNOW!*
