Whose bright idea was it to write a virus scanner that sends back the=20
whole message (including the virus) to the supposed "sender" of the=20
virus when a virus is found. I've gotten 10 or 12 copies of sobig that I=20
supposedly sent out, and I get my email through UCDavis, so I have to=20
endure all the bandwidth when I download my email with fetchmail.

--=20
I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
My key was last signed 6/10/2003. If you use GPG, *please* see me about=20
signing the key. ***** My computer can't give you viruses by email. ***
