Yes. That virus that was sent to the list yesterday will have infected at least a couple of readers of this list. If any of those are in a business, that business will incur costs, which will be passed on to their customers. Their business customers will pass those costs on, etc. Multiply by the systems they will infect. Stir in a little wasted time for the list admins if some boneheaded company along the way decides to complain to the "source" of the email, and reads that as the list. > If I might make a suggestion, why not offer a debian-user .procmailrc > and .forward that does get rid oof stuff you don't need. Unfortunately, none of those will work for the people using Windows to view this list. Nobody is objecting to EVERY attachment; in fact, I wish you'd have sent all that crap you put in your message body as an attachment. :-) Hope you didn't have any more text after it, because I just do "d/^--" when I get that much stuff, and delete everything down to my sig delimiter. -- Shawn McMahon | Information may want to be free, but fiber http://www.eiv.com | optic cable wants to be one million US AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | dollars per mile.
