I _am_ aware of the full extent of the problem. There is so much of it I
don't even bother any more. The virus laden emails get caught by
MailScanner/f-prot and are discarded on this end without me even caring
a whit what possible usable content there might have been.

What I _do_ find interesting is emails supposedly _from_ and ale member
to the ale list. That requires more knowledge of who and what than just
the typical, dumb email virus. In my mind, that implies that an ale
members machine has become either a spam-bot or a victim of a email
virus. 

Headers?! We don't need no steenking headers!
