How is this a loop? The way I understand it, a loop is a message sent back to a list that the same message has already been sent to; in this case, a *reply* is sent to the list. And about the virus scanners - I'm afraid the damage is already done, and we'll see a lot more of it in the next day or so, as more people check their mail :( Unless someone goes for some real mail daemon hackery, and blocks all messages referring to the original message.. and all its replies.. but for some reason, I do not think this will happen :P G'luck, Peter -- If the meanings of 'true' and 'false' were switched, then this sentence wouldn't be false.
