Because I received one that referenced the am-info list address, 
although it does nothing to my Linux box.

You've got to be using Outlook or Outlook express.  You'll receive an 
email message that contains a M$ executable file as an attachment.  The 
to and from email addresses are taken from the Outlook address book.

I would think you're okay.  Outlook's not available on EComStation is 
it?  No variation of OS/2 os mentioned in the systems affected or 
unaffected:


Systems Affected: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, 
Windows XP, Windows Me

Systems Not Affected: Macintosh, Unix, Linux

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
