Life is too short to spend debugging microsoft products.

Especially during times that the masses are crying wolf,
it's important that mail just works, without flawed bandaids
like virus scanners and the like.

I've been using MH on UNIX for more than 10 years now
(w/o 'virusscanner' - the concept doesn't even exist),
and all I notice about these virus messages is how much
panic it causes with others.

This is an operators list - if you're concerned about this
virus thing, you might consider switching.
