Subject: Off Topic - Viruses on list
Folks,

I have now received a number of messages from my ISP about viruses
being sent to the list, the latest one being as follows:

> Attention: christiang@cc*.co*.au*
> 
> [A message has been sent to the originator, stating there is a virus

> W32/Badtrans-B

This is unusual, has never happened to me before in the several years
I've now been on this list, hence this post.

Viruses have never affected me when they've got through (wrong
platform, serious and up-to-date anti-virus sfotware) but those with
Wintel machines might care to take a little care.

Sorry for the Off Topic post,

Christian
