Yeah, I knew that. Hence the "need" for AntiVirus for Mac from Norton. I

figure if someone with a Windows machine fails to protect themselves from a

threat embedded in an eMail my Linux or Mac machine happens to receive, and

I forwarded it to said target Windows machine, it is not my problem. I have

done what I can to protect myself. I am not going to purchase "protection"

on my Linux/Mac machinery to help protect other folks from themselves. But,

then again, I do not run an email service. If I did I am certain I would

think differently about it.
