Re: Read the archives - it's safer

Not really.... Your message here, sitting in someone's inbox, can
provide an email address for delivery of a 'package'. For example, I
just got a copy of the Magistr worm from someone on lm_net. (i've
written to the person already). It took a message from the Sent
messages, addressed it to me here, and replaced the attachment with a
copy of itself. Magistr has been around for quite awhile, so my
antivirus program caught it handily.=20
