I'm refusing at least one message per day to me from the Evo list, each
with an assorted Microsoft attachment, hardly ever the same type. I
can't see whose poster's name is forged, since I never accept the
message.

I'm running this Evo (1.4) on a test machine (actually a Compaq notebook
running RedHat RHEL 3 Enterprise Server :) that's also a test bed for
smtp and IMAP mail servers. It receives its mail from the Internet and I
get to make all policy and and write the filters for incoming mail - and
refuse it if I don't want it.

I've read (OOo list) that Evo's being ported to Windows as a matter of
priority, so the virus/worm merchants are probably sharpening their
teeth for the day it gets released :)
