You've never seen a macro virus???

What OS they execute on isn't really the point.  The point is where did it
come from?  And if I forward it from a Mac, it came from a Mac.  Ditto for
any other OS.  It it is sent by the creator through my web server on Unix,
then it originated on my web server on Unix.  The fact that it didn't infect
my machine, or spread automatically from my machine, doesn't mean that my
machine didn't spread it, and that my machine is not a source of origination.
