'Smatter of fact, so do I, for my _personal_ e-mail...

Actually, I don't always end up "previewing" my mail with Pine, but
lately, I have been. Ultimately, if I don't delete the messages from Pine,
I download the remaining messages with Pegasus Mail, which
similarly seems immune to all these Lookout virii.

BTW, I'm using Pine (4.31?) under Solaris (my ISP says they'll always
provide shell access, and I'm one of the few people who turned off the
Lynx-based menu system for the shell (Korn).

I like Bash, perhaps I should switch shells... dang, I'm drifting OT
again.

C Ya!
