Hm.. but this will not help once there are worms based on .ly :) > * I just received a Bagle.C message apparently from me (well, from my > [EMAIL PROTECTED] self) on the closed-post development list.

A solution that is nicer than forbidding all zip (,exe,pif,doc..) files, could be to filter out all messages with suspicious content. Then all such messages would have to be approved by a list moderator before getting to the list. (and yes, I know Han-Wen and Jan have better things to spend their time on than approving messages.. but I'm sure there's some person on the list willing to act as a co-moderator) Erik _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
