Virus Information

====Question or Symptom====
My understanding of harmful email viruses is that these come in the form
of an email attachment that one should avoid opening. The email itself
is not harmful, as that can only be text or html. Is that correct? If
not, how does one avoid opening an email? I'm not able to delete an
email without selecting it first, and once I select it, it opens.

====Resolution====
There's a note at http://www.ufaq.org/mac_delete_mail.html which explains how
to get Netscape to only show you the message subjects and not automatically
open them. You're a little safer on the Mac because most of the "autorun"
email viruses only infect Windows users running Microsoft programs (in
particular, Outlook). But, just because someone hasn't found a way to autorun
a virus from email on a Mac with Netscape yet doesn't mean that someone won't
figure it out next week :-) Displaying the subjects first is a resonable way
to stay a little safer, although it might be somewhat inconvenient.
