all very very true and sound advice. however, a small word of warning
(from someone who works with computer networking, administration and
security for a living): though you cannot technically have a virus in
a message, modern mail readers provide mechanisms for attachments (using
MIME and other methods) to messages. such attachments do indeed need to be
separated and explicitly accessed (or executed if its a program) but that
could be done by a simple mouse-click over a button on your mailreader.
the good times virus is indeed a hoax, but do be careful about how you
treat mail messages with attachments. an organization which deals with
these issues is CERT. if you receive a virus warning of this sort, it
would be a good idea to check cert's web site (http://www.cert.org/) to
see if they have any reports on it. phil i hope you think my addition
to your comments are not out of place.

well then, welcome back! ;-). to all those involved in this raging
flamewar, may i just suggest that there is a large silent audience
i think here on this list that is willing to listen to all of your
opinions! so please, if you want to fight probably you should take
it to personal e-mail. if not, i think i can safely say that there
are always folks interested in hearing your thoughts on heidegger's
works, so lets hear them instead! thank you,
