No my definition of crappy has to do with these products bouncing mail not
because it contained an infected attachment but because it contained an
iframe tag. If Juha had actually sent the virus along to the list then
that'd be one thing. But bouncing mail as a virus because it contains
an HTML tag is silly because there's no actual virus scanning going on there.
