Actually what happened, was I received this virus from a trusted friend who
just so happens would send an e-mail to me with that sort of "literary"
content to me as a joke. So as it happens it was a perfect trojan because it
slipped under my defenses by being something I would normally expect. My
software doesn't open attachments by default. Thus it was entirely my error.
I am just glad that I didn't have any e-mail lists in my "address book"
In fact to back up your statement, there are exactly 3 virii that infect
UNIX based systems.

The whole world does not run software which is a good culture medium
for email viruses. I mostly use nice old UNIX software and it would
take a number of extra steps on my part for some embdedded virus to
get a chance to run. If your software automatically executes stuff
in attachments, you need to change your software, not develope a list
of subject lines you are freightened of.
