But a sane mail system does not *spread* viruses.

I think the reason Verson's calling it a trojan horse is that it's a program
you install and that then starts spreading viruses. Typically, a trojan
horse is one that spreads its *own* virus; but, from the user's point of
view, that's not a vital difference. (On the other hand, by this viewpoint,
any OS for which viruses exist is a trojan horse.)
