Last year or so I got quite a few attachment viruses.  Now
I don't.  I think my ISP has been filtering them out, MIME 
and all, but I just never got around to ask them.  I really
should ask them just for the record.

I never really cared much anyhow, because I don't use a 
Windows OS or a Windows e-mail client, like Outlook, so 
I've been immune to the Windows viruses, trojans, and worms.

Do you use Windows?  Just curious.
