Right, if you use only Linux...

I run "clamav-ng" too, since I download my E-Mails with fetchmail,
filter it with procmail and store it in my ~/Maildir where I can
access it with "mutt" or ANY IMAP capable Mail-Clients including
some from the OS Windows...
Now imagine, I have NOT another choice as using Outlook (from a
customer, Internet cafe or wherelse) and there is a Virus in ONE
of this messages I try to access...
Windows will be realy fast hijacked of this pig...
