Suuuuuuuure ;-)

Which begs an interesting question, why did Xtra's much-touted virus scanner let it through ? :)
Don't think it did.
------------------ Virus Warning Message ------------------
Found virus WORM_KLEZ.H in file 0px The uncleanable file is deleted.

Interesting, I don't see anything like that in the copy I received in Eudora. Just a line that said Content-Type: text/html; Even if I view the full message source there is no warning anything like that. Besides, I recieved warnings from other peoples virus scanners, not Xtra's. Among them were "Marshal Integrated McAfee Antivirus", and "InoculateIT Ver 6.x". For other peoples virus scanners to pick something up, then Xtra's - by definition - must have let something through. Whether what got let through was dangerous or not is another matter.
Or do you mean, why did it let the disinfected message through? Interesting question actually. Xtra probably decided not to stop them, so as not to interfere with Telecom's profitability^W^Wusers' email too much.
Good idea, lets just clean the virus off and pass the rest of the message including virus-attached private documents through. Oh wait, maybe thats not such a good idea afterall.... ;) Regards, Simon - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
