	This just came:

> This mail is certified virus-free by using Linux.

	This isn't really true, you know. If you get an email with
a virus attached and forward it & the attachment, you will still
spread the virus. I use Linux at home, too, and found this out the
hard way.

	So what do people do -- on such occasions as they do
forward attachments?
