Isn't it somewhat dumb to send a Windows email virus to a NetBSD mailing
list :-)
Anyway, if such an exploit would work with someUnix app people would demand=
for
a secuity fix. Now that it happens with Windows pleople merely cry for
an update of their "virus scanner", leaving the door open for the next vari=
ant.
Strange if you think of it, isn't it?
