I am an outlook user and would greatly appreciate such a document. I.e. with the my party virus - I was aware of the virus before I saw the email in the list, so i never clicked on it - but what is the proper course of action - do i click on it and delete it, or will simply clicking on the email activate the virus? I would also entertain suggestions for other email clients to use, and are there converters for the email databases so I can import my saved email? Believe me I fully respect and endorse the open source model for software (especially OSes) development, and find the behavior of MS reproachable in many ways, but lets not put political blame on those of us using MS products, theres just some scenarios where is just impossible to use linux or anything else (i.e. for pro audio production, in my case)

thanks much josh w.

Maybe there should be an introductory email for new list users giving

advice

on how to protect against worms and viruses - no matter which client they use. It should be a practical guide - not just a warning - listing any

known

methods for commonly used clients. I personally object to the tyranny of blocking users on the basis of the clients they use when they are only

using

them in good faith.
