And if one of us were to be infected with an email virus, his computer would 
not be able to spread that virus to
the rest of us through this list.  That is, without infecting the list server, 
which would be a logical next step in the
evolutionary predator/prey cycle of computer viruses.

My email provider has a pretty good virus detector.  It detects viruses and 
deletes infected messages without sending
them to me.  Pretty good system.  It also awaits the next step.
