ok, e-mail viruses are nonsens, but I wanted to say that not all "virus  
spreading by mail" is bullshit.
I know that no virus can be executed only by reading a mail - but _if_ you  
talk about macro viruses, please remember the mails sent in .DOC format -  
then, a virus can spread only by mail.
Ciao, Lukas
