I just received a message with a virus which was detected by NAV 2002. While it didn't give me a choice to delete, the easy option was to hit the quarantine button, which I did. The virus got quarantined, the rest of the mail got collected, and I was able to locate the message which had had the infected attachment. (I sent to the sender asking that I be removed from the resident Outlook Express address book and suggested that the machine be checked for infection. I sent a copy of the message to the postmaster of the ISP in question and to abuse@ that address as well. The message to 'postmaster' bounced because her mailbox was over quota!!) Anyhow, my point is that NAV 2002 seemed to me to have behaved quite adequately. -- Dwight A.
