Do you mean to say that opening "message.txt\t\t\t.desktop" which happens to be a freedesktop.org compliant launcher for the program "rm -rf $HOME" is safe because it's designed for people running one of the F/OSS products GNOME or KDE on a F/OSS OS? I agree that not opening any attachments is counter-productive and shows paranoia, but we shouldn't feel that just because F/OSS is better than e.g. MS Windows it's infinitely better. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT/CM$/CS>$/CC/IT$/M/S/O/U dpu s+:++ !a C++$>C+++$ UB+++>++++$L++++$*-- P+>++$ L+++(++++)$ E-(---) W+++>$ N(+) o?
