Thanks for the warning. I just updated my virus definitions after reading this post. Anyway, I seldom get virus through mails nowadays.
Mailwasher + Mozilla Thunderbird = safer mails

And to Xen you should really get some virus protection on your PC. There are a few good free virus scanners out there that you should look into. AVG is pretty good. You can try the site below for a free virus scanner. http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 Cheers!
