Code Red is *NOT* an email worm, and has *NOTHING* to do with HTML.
It is an MS *SPECIFIC* infector, altho web servers on other OSes may
have problems, due to the amount of (illegal) traffic that a CR-infected
web servers spews out in all directions.

There is *NO* way to receive CodeRed in an email.

EVERYBODY needs to be a bit of a security expert. You don't seriously
think that Unix/Linux has NO security issues whatsoever, do you? Look at
all the security problems BIND and WU-FTP have had over the years.
Unix/Linux has better security potgential than MS, but it doesn't mean
you can just ignore security.
