"Virii (or virusses) CAN be sent through email. But they cannot be plain text. Here are
known ways to send virii through email: 1. With an attached executable. This can only hurt you if you if
you execute it. Names will be disguised like Windows96up.exe or Freestuff.exe. 2. As an HTML
mail-message, linking to a gif/jpeg file, which has a virus in it. Text-only mail-readers will not be hurt by
this. 3. Mail with an attached Word/Excel file. This can only hurt you, if you open it in the corresponding
program. It will have a macro in it, that actually has a virus. Protection against this is common-sense."
